Former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi appeared in court today four months after his ouster in a military coup. Morsi faces charges surrounding the deaths of protesters killed in a rally against his government last December. Today’s hearing marked Morsi’s first court appearance since his ouster, a period that has seen hundreds of his supporters shot dead by state forces. Morsi told the court he remains Egypt’s legitimate president and reportedly chanted, “down with military rule.” The trial has been adjourned until January.
