CAIRO - 13 July 2018: Former Muslim Brotherhood Supreme Guide Mohamed Badie will be handed down three final court rulings in July over crime-related charges. Badie, 74, was the eighth leader of the banned Muslim Brotherhood (MB) organization. He became leader of the organization in 2010 after the death of his predecessor, Madi Akef.

Former Muslim Brotherhood Supreme Guide Mohamed Badie will be handed down three final court rulings in July over crime-related charges.

Badie, 74, was the eighth leader of the banned Muslim Brotherhood (MB) organization. He became leader of the organization in 2010 after the death of his predecessor, Madi Akef. He was arrested on Aug. 19, 2013 as part of a nation-wide crackdown on Brotherhood leaders in the wake of increasing violence and protests after two Brotherhood sit-ins were forcefully dispersed on Aug. 14, 2013.

On July 28, the South Cairo Criminal Court will give its ruling against Badie and 738 co-defendants in a trial dubbed in the media as “The Rabaa Sit-in Dispersal Case”. The defendants face charges of “staging an armed gathering in Rabaa Square, illegally possessing and handling weapons, blocking driveways, and deliberately vandalizing public property, along with other counts relating to murdering policemen and citizens.”

On July 29, a Cairo Criminal Court will issue its ruling in the “Al-Bahr al-Azam Case”, in which Badie and eight other Brotherhood members are being retried. In September 2014, the defendants were sentenced to life imprisonment over charges of “inciting clashes” in al-Bahr al-Azam district, Giza, causing the death of five people. However, the Court of Cassation overturned the verdicts on Nov. 8, 2015.

How Muslim Brotherhood lost people's trust in 2 years

CAIRO - 13 July 2018: A year after millions of Egyptians headed to polling stations to vote for former President Mohamed Morsi in 2012, millions including former Morsi supporters took to the streets on June 30, 2013, calling on him to "leave" his post.

On the same day, a Minya Criminal Court in Upper Egypt will make its final ruling in the third trial dubbed as “El Idwa Incidents,” in which Badie and 682 co-defendants were charged with inciting violence. They are also charged with storming a number of state-owned institutions, such as the agriculture unit, veterinary center and the real estate office in the city.

Following the Rabaa sit-in dispersal on Aug. 14, 2013, the city of El Idwa in Minya governorate witnessed acts of violence and vandalism, during which a police station was attacked and a police officer was killed. In April 2014, the Minya Criminal Court sentenced all defendants to death. However, a retrial was ordered after overturning the ruling by the Court of Cassation.
