12:01 pm
even just past nine pm now here in moscow kevin i when you're watching out the trial of egypt's ousted president mohamed morsi has been adjourned until next january he's been charged with inciting the killing of protesters last december hundreds of the former leader supporters have been running outside the courthouse in cairo amid a heavy police presence that is paul asli i was there for us. the proceedings adjourned to show time because they will start again on january the eighth which to me is bell to tell you inside the court what actually happened there well as we've heard it has been adjourned until the eighth of january in about three months time and then purposive is for the lowest have a look at these enormous case files this is said to be as big as five to six thousand pages long and all the lawyers concerned both those supporting mostly in his aides and those against him in the trial haven't had an opportunity to look at those files yet so they need that time in addition most he hasn't actually had any
12:02 pm
access to his noise he's been kept since he was ousted incommunicado in on the location today was the first time that we've seen him it was the first time is lawyers have seen him i learned today speaking to the different noise there are grounds to charge him and the people there on grounds of incitement to kill protesters and looking at the evidence it's not entirely political although obviously it's being carried out in quite a politicized way what was the atmosphere like inside the courtroom when it was equally as charged as soon as we saw the members of the missing brotherhood and the political aides of mohamed morsi and of course ahmed mostly himself the whole place erupted into contrasting chants the missing brotherhood themselves mohamad mostly said they do not regret that nice discords they said illegitimate and that the most he remains the president of egypt meanwhile those who are standing against him the legal teams against him were saying execution execution he must return to jail he was extremely wrong because in their one point a fight broke out between journalists and said who is the lawyer of mohamed morsy accused of genocide being paid by the state one journalist got up on to the side of
12:03 pm
the side and basically almost threw his shoes at a lawyer so it was extremely charged it was very tense at the missing brother had kept repeating and mohamed morsi care repeating that he was illegitimate president that this was a fake trial that this was a political trial and the really the just missing needed to prevail in this case needed to and as you say most he keeps insisting that this is a fake trial which is the reason that he says he will be defending himself. having said that though there are some twenty five lawyers that are participating for the defense but only ten of them have actually been given access to the clients of course morsi is standing accused of inciting murder alongside fourteen and the muslim brotherhood supporters this is widely being seen as a political trial of course tensions here are running high we'll keep you updated and you can head to paula's twitter page should to keep updated she's following all the developments in cairo for us in. the in the. on.
12:04 pm
let's rewind the clock remind ourselves of the timeline here the twenty eleven egyptian revolution so long time army bad leader hosni mubarak step followed then by a year of political turmoil in june twenty twelve morsi became the country's first democratically elected president whoever is pushed for an islamist but constitution sparked those deadly riots unrest in december that same year violence erupted again this summer and the morsy protests prompted the military to oust the is a misleader that was followed by a vicious crackdown on muslim brotherhood supporters in which more than a thousand were killed listen journalist what eskander believes the trial against the muslim brotherhood leaders is part of a broader political plan on islamist ideology in egypt. well this is seems a bit like deja vu for egypt another president another trial in less than three years and what we're seeing is a rerun of a politicized trial of course there are things that president morsi has done just
12:05 pm
like hosni mubarak has but i don't think that he's on trial. for the for the exact crimes that he's done or the reason he's being put on trial is because of is muslim brotherhood ideology and the way he ran the country with the intent of trying him is not really a state of law or a democratic transition or or even or any of this stuff the same time we're seeing a lot of his. ministers that were part of it the interior ministers that served under him rabbi actually protesters they are not being tried along with morsi and so therefore this is seems very very highly politicized in the man of the people who want to see a lot of the muslim brotherhood behind bars. seventy human rights organizations around the world are sounding the alarm of the erosion of free to be britain they've written an open letter indeed to the u.k. prime minister blasting the government's response to surveillance leaks the center
12:06 pm
furthest more on their appeal. well some very strong words for the prime minister there from those human rights organizations and they're fighting back against what they call the eroding a fundamental rights in the now let's take a look over some of the main points that that letter raises and their concerns center around the use of terrorism legislation against david miranda when he was detained at heathrow airport they also talk about the sustained pressure against media organizations reporting the edward snowden leaks the guardian newspaper has come under a huge amount of pressure you cast your mind back they had government officials actually enter their building and destroy the hard drives now i think a very interesting point that the lesson makes is over the potential violation of freedom of expression now this is the argument we hear the u.k. government use a lot when they're condemning the leaks being published that it's damaging national security in the u.k.
12:07 pm
there are permissible limits to freedom of expression and person freedoms according to national security and there will prescribed in international law our concern is that the government has simply gone way beyond what those normal prescribed limits are now in the letter it says that the protection of national security can be a legitimate reason for limiting the freedom of expression but and this is the really important point that governments must demonstrate that the expression actually harms the national security not simply enough for them to say that it will now coming up this week we're going to see the heads of m i five m i six and. questioned in an open evidence session that's going to be broadcast by a public satellite leg so this debate certainly not going away however much you can imagine u.k. government will be wishing it will right now and of course we'll be bringing you all those developments as they happen. sarah firth well meantime cia contractor turned whistleblower edward snowden's released
