CAIRO, Feb 4 (Aswat Masriya) An Egyptian criminal court has adjourned the trial of ousted President Mohamed Mursi and his aides over violence that took place by the Ittihadiya presidential palace to Wednesday.

Mursi and other Muslim Brotherhood senior members are being tried for inciting the killing of peaceful protesters by the presidential palace in Heliopolis on December 5 in 2012. 

An Islamist alliance called for demonstrations on Tuesday in solidarity with the ousted president as he stood trial with his top aides.

“The army’s judges still do not fear God, continue to dismiss law and justice and continue to go after the free, forgetting judgment day,” the National Alliance to Support Legitimacy said in a statement earlier on Tuesday.
