Egyptian court sets November 4 trial date for deposed President Mursi

CAIRO | Wed Oct 9, 2013 7:22am EDT

(Reuters) - An Egyptian court on Wednesday set November 4 as the date for the trial of deposed Islamist President Mohamed Mursi and other senior figures in the Muslim Brotherhood on charges of inciting violence.

Mursi has been held in a secret location since his overthrow in early July. If he is brought before the court, it will be his first appearance in public since then.

The trial could further inflame tensions between the Islamist movement and the army-backed government and deepen the political instability that has decimated tourism and investment in the most populous Arab state.

Judge Nabil Saleeb said Mursi and the Muslim Brotherhood members had been charged with "inciting the killing and torture of protesters in front of the Etihadeya (presidential) palace".
