7:01Now PlayingEgypt's top public prosecutor has announced charges against ousted President Mohamed Morsi for conspiring with foreign groups to commit terrorist acts and destabilize the country. The charges carry the death penalty. Morsi was charged along with 35 others, including the Muslim Brotherhood's top three leaders. This marks the latest escalation in the suppression of a movement that propelled Morsi to victory in last year's presidential election only to be driven back underground after the army ousted him in July following mass protests. We are joined from Cairo by Sharif Abdel Kouddous, independent journalist, Democracy Now! correspondent, and a fellow at The Nation Institute. His latest article is "Repression Deepens in EgyptAt first it was the Muslim Brotherhood. Now dozens of journalists, nonIslamist activists and students have been detained and beaten."
