“The leader of Egypt’s outlawed Muslim Brotherhood and 682 others went on trial on Tuesday on charges including murder, their lawyer said, in a further blow to supporters of deposed Islamist president Mohammad Mursi. The trial of Brotherhood Supreme Guide Mohammad Badie, 70, and the others came a day after the same court in Minya Province condemned 529 members of the Islamist group to death, in what rights groups said was the biggest mass death sentence handed out in Egypt’s modern history.”
