Cairo. — Egypt’s ousted president Mohamed Morsi will go on trial on February 16 over charges of espionage along with 35 others, official news agency MENA reported yesterday.
The suspects include Muslim Brotherhood supreme guide Mohamed Badei and his two deputies Khairat al-Shater and Mahmoud Ezzat, former parliament speaker Saad al-Katatni and others.
