Spokesman Gehad el-Haddad said the charges against Mr Badie and other senior leaders were a government scheme to disrupt the Muslim Brotherhood protesters who are demanding reinstatement of overthrown President Mohamed Morsi. The same day, the National Coalition in Support of Legitimacy led by the Muslim Brotherhood called for a million-man march, set for Friday, to protest the interim government.Prosecutors said they had ordered the arrest of 200 people believed involved in Monday’s clashes, the majority of them pro-Morsi.
