The trial of ousted President Mohamed Mursi was adjourned until 19 April in order to hear from new eyewitnesses.

Mursi, his presidential aides and other senior Muslim Brotherhood leaders are accused of inciting the murder and torture of opposition protesters outside the presidential palace in December 2012, Ahram Online reported.

At least ten people were killed in the protests, triggered by a presidential decree that expanded Mursi’s powers and put his decisions beyond judicial review.

Mursi, who was removed from power by the army in July 2013 amid nationwide protests against his year-long rule, also faces a number of other charges in separate trials.
