“A television channel chief and presenter denied calling for the murder of President Mohamed Morsi when his trial on incitement charges opened in the Egyptian capital on Saturday. ‘I merely criticized President Morsi,’ Tawfiq Okasha told judges at the court appearance, an AFP journalist reported. ‘This is a political trial. The Muslim Brotherhood wants to silence all dissent and reproduce the system from before the revolution,’ he said. The charges against him came at the same time that Islam Afifi, the editor of small independent newspaper Al-Dustour, was accused of spreading false news and inciting disorder.”
