Mohammed Badie denies the Muslim Brotherhood acted violently<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohammed Badie and 682 other supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi are standing trial in central Egypt.<\/p>\n

They face charges including the murder of several policemen during a crackdown on the Islamist movement in August.<\/p>\n

Most of the defendants are being tried in absentia and officials said Mr Badie was not in court for security reasons.<\/p>\n

The mass trial in Minya province comes a day after the same court sentenced 528 other Morsi supporters to death.<\/p>\n

There has been widespread condemnation of the sentences, which were delivered on only the second session of the trial.<\/p>\n

The Egyptian authorities have cracked down on the Brotherhood since the military overthrow Mr Morsi in July. More than 1,000 people have been killed and thousands of others arrested.<\/p>\n

Mr Badie, the Brotherhood’s general guide, is being detained along with dozens of other senior leaders of the Islamist movement.<\/p>\n

The military stepped in after months of street protests against Mr Morsi – Egypt’s first democratically-elected president.<\/p>\n

Following Mr Morsi’s removal from office the Brotherhood set up protest camps in Cairo, at which Mr Badie was a prominent figure.<\/p>\n

Police eventually dispersed the camps, killing hundreds of protesters, and Mr Badie went into hiding. He was detained in August.<\/p>\n

Mr Badie’s 38-year-old son Ammar was among those killed in the protests.<\/p>\n

The Brotherhood and human rights groups denounced Monday’s death sentences.<\/p>\n

The verdicts must now go to Egypt’s supreme religious authority, the Grand Mufti, for approval or rejection.<\/p>\n

Analysts say that although death sentences are often handed down in Egypt, few have been carried out in recent years.<\/p>\n

All of those convicted on Monday are expected to appeal.<\/p>\n

The Brotherhood has been declared a terrorist organisation and authorities have punished any public show of support for it.<\/p>\n
