An Egyptian court on Sunday ordered the retrial of Muslim Brotherhood [BBC profile] leader Mohamed Badie and other prominent members from the group after new evidence arose from a February 2015 ruling.

State news agency MENA reported [Al Jazeera report] that the retrial relates to a case in which “Badie and 14 others were handed life sentences for incitement to commit murder and attempted murder of anti-Muslim Brotherhood demonstrators near the group’s headquarters in June 2013.”

Badie, the Brotherhood’s spiritual leader, had previously been sentenced to death after Egypt’s military removal of President Mohamed Morsi [BBC profile] and is embroiled in nearly 40 other trials. Since the removal of Morsi hundreds of members have been sentenced to death in a crackdown on the now-outlawed Brotherhood.

While it is unclear exactly why charges were modified, Egyptian law allows charges to be altered if new evidence arises. The new charges involve “premeditated murder, attempted murder, beating to death and possession of unlicensed weapons, MENA reported.”

The retrial affects only those in custody and not those defendants who were tried in absentia. The retrial is set to begin October 7.
