DHAKA: An Islamist alliance backing Mohamed Mursi on Thursday urged its supporters to protest on November 4 when the ousted president will be put on trial, raising fears of new clashes.

Mursi, held at an unknown location since the military ousted him on July 3, and 14 others have been charged in the killing of protesters outside his palace in December 2012.

The Anti-Coup Alliance ‘notes that the coup organisers would like to break the people’s and the revolution’s will’ by trying Mursi and the others, the alliance led by Mursi’s Muslim Brotherhood said, reports daily Hurriyet.
