CAIRO: Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood chief Mohammed Badie Monday attended the first session of his second trial, his lawyer said, marking his first public appearance since he was arrested in August.

Badie, the Brotherhood’s Supreme Guide, appeared alongside 14 other members of the movement to face charges of inciting violence in the Cairo neighborhood of Bahr Al-Aazam that led to deadly clashes in July, lawyer Mohamed Damaty said.

“All 15 defendants including Badie attended the trial today,” Damaty told reporters outside a Cairo police academy where Monday’s session was held.
