The Cairo Criminal Court, on Wednesday, adjourned the trial of ousted Egyptian president, Mohamed Morsi, to Feb. 1.
Morsi is being tried for inciting the killing of protesters outside presidential palace during his rule.
The Chinese News Agency, Xinhua, reported that the adjournment was due to bad weather that prevented Egyptian authorities from transferring Morsi from his prison in Alexandria to the court in Cairo.
Morsi, along with 14 Muslim Brotherhood top leaders, is also standing trial for inciting clashes between his supporters and opponents outside the presidential palace in Cairo in December 2012, which left at least seven people dead.
The Chinese agency said the Islamist leader also faces charges of espionage, revealing classified military information to foreign bodies, including Palestinian Islamic Movement Hamas, as well as financing terrorism.
It said that on Dec. 25, Egypt's interim government announced Morsi's Brotherhood "a terrorist group," a day after a blast targeting a security department headquarters at Daqahliya province killed at least 17 people.
