The suspects include Muslim Brotherhood Supreme Guide Mohamed Badie, Mohamed al-Beltagy, Osama Yassin, Bassem Ouda, Mohamed abdel Maqsoud, Abdel Rahman al-Barr, Abdullah Barakat and others. 

They face charges of inciting violence and murder, blocking Qalyub road, endangering citizens’ lives and resisting authorities.
