Morsi defiant as trial adjourned in Egypt
Source: Al Jazeera
The trial of deposed Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi has been adjourned, after he refused to recognise the court and acted "like a lion" in defiance, according to one of his lawyers.
Morsi was flown in from a secret military location on Monday to an eastern Cairo district on charges of inciting violence and murder. Hours later he was taken away by helicopter to a prison, with the trial not due to resume for two months.
While the case has been adjourned until January 8, this marked his first public appearance since his military-orchestrated overthrow on July 3.
The opening of the trial was marked by Morsi's defiance. He refused to wear the prison uniform, said he would defend himself, rejected the legitimacy of the court and insisted he was the president of Egypt.
