Secret MB military trial resumes
From Al-Jazeera:
The Egyptian authorities have barred human rights groups from attending the secret military trial of 40 members of the Muslim Brotherhood, the country’s most powerful opposition group.
A Brotherhood source said observers from Amnesty International and the Arab Commission for Human Rights, based in France, were stopped from attending the trial.
The media and 60 defence lawyers were also prevented from attending the proceedings on Sunday.
