The charges relate to violent protests outside the presidential palace in December last year, after Morsi expanded his own presidential powers, reports Reuters. Morsi is accused of inciting his supporters to kill and beat the protestors, reports the AP. He is also being investigated over his 2011 prison break, in which he has been accused of murder and conspiring with Hamas, adds Reuters, but no actual charges have been brought in that case yet.
