Morsi faces trial in Egypt in test of democracy

Security forces arrests pro-Morsi female protesters during clashes in Alexandria Nov 1, 2013. Security forces detained 22 women members of the Muslim Brotherhood, a security official said on Friday, fuelling tensions days before deposed President Mohamed Morsi and 14 other leaders of the Islamist group go on trial. Nasser al-Abd, a senior security official in Egypt's second city Alexandria, said the charges against the women include using force to disrupt traffic during protests, membership of an outlawed group and distributing illegal leaflets.
