"The trial of Egyptian TV anchor Tawfiq Okasha on charges of inciting violence against the country's president will begin at Cairo Criminal Court on Saturday.
On 10 August, Egyptian authorities accused Okasha, a presenter and head of the Faraeen satellite channel, of calling for the violent overthrow of President Mohamed Morsi, following complaints against the anchor from a number of lawyers and revolutionary figures.
Authorities ordered that the Faraeen channel cease transmission for at least a month." al-Ahram

This is a little something special for any naifs in the crowd who still think Mursi is about democracy and free speech. If this does not work they can try him for "material support of terrorism." That works here. pl
Well, this "revolution" has sure turned out to be a goddamned disaster.
I particularly like how the sanctimonious Bush and Obama administrations have been systematically destroying every ancient Christian population in the middle east. I'd call it hypocritical, but the word doesn't carry enough weight.

Ideological bungling works for me, Dongo.
