Egypt's ousted former President Mohammed Morsi has arrived at a court venue in Cairo on Monday; where he is due to go on trial.

The ex-president is accused of "incitement to murder and violence" over the deaths of at least 10 people during intense clashes on 4 and 5 December 2012 which followed a decree that gave him wide-ranging powers.

After he was ousted, a sit-in protest in Cairo by Mr Morsi's supporters was violently broken up by the military, leading to the deaths of hundreds of people.

The interim government has also cracked down on the Muslim Brotherhood, from which Mr Morsi hails, banning the Islamist organisation and arresting dozens of senior figures.

He and 14 other Muslim Brotherhood figures face charges of inciting the killing of protesters in clashes outside the presidential palace.

According to source, security services are on high alert after supporters of the former president called for major protests.
