CAIRO. KAZINFORM - Egypt's former Islamist President Mohamed Morsi has arrived at a court in Cairo to go on trial over his escape from prison in 2011, state media say.
He was taken to the court by helicopter from a prison in Alexandria, Mena news agency reports.
Mr Morsi, Egypt's first freely-elected president, was deposed by the military in July 2013 after mass protests against his rule, according to BBC.
He is now facing four separate criminal trials on various charges.
