Egypt mass trial of Islamists opens, adjourns
A court in Egypt adjourned the mass trial of more than 1,200 supporters of deposed Islamist president Morsi after a brief hearing on Saturday, state media reported. 
 
The country's biggest trial since the army removed Morsi last July after a turbulent single year in office was adjourned until Monday. 
 
About 500 defendants faced charges at a court in Minya, south of Cairo, with the trial of the remainder due to begin on Tuesday, state news agency MENA reported.
