Ammon News - CNN - Deposed Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy joined Muslim Brotherhood leaders at a Cairo court Saturday for a hearing, state-run EGYNews reported.

Morsy faces several trials on various charges.

Last week, he appeared in court in connection with an alleged 2011 jailbreak.

Saturday's hearing is to address charges involving the deaths of protesters in 2012.
Morsy is charged alongside 14 other members of the Muslim Brotherhood. If convicted, they could face the death penalty.

Saturday's is the third hearing to address these allegations. It was originally scheduled for January, but rough weather conditions prevented the helicopter transporting him from flying.

Denouncement

In lasts week's appearance, which addressed the jailbreak charges, the former democratically-elected President denounced the process as unfair and unjust.
Speaking from inside a soundproof glass enclosure, he demanded to know where he was and who was in charge.

His lawyers explained to the judge that he was angry because he had not been allowed to see his attorneys or family.

Jailbreak accusations
Nineteen Muslim Brotherhood members, including Morsy, allegedly broke out of the prison in 2011, EGYNews reported.

At the time, the Muslim Brotherhood was banned in the country. But the Islamist group became the nation's most powerful political force after longtime ruler Hosni Mubarak was toppled in February 2011.

Morsy and dozens of co-defendants are accused of collaborating with the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas and the Lebanese Shia group Hezbollah to escape from the Wadi-Natroun prison, the state-owned Ahram Online news agency said.

The defendants are also accused of attempting to kill police officers, Ahram Online said.
The Muslim Brotherhood views the trials as a sham. They still consider Morsy the legitimate leader of Egypt.
