The defence lawyers for ousted president Mohamed Morsi have arrived to the trial venue for the first session of the trial of Morsi on inciting murder charges on Monday.

Attorneys include prominent lawyer and Islamist thinker Mohamed Selim El-Awa who reportedly recieved a warm welcome by Morsi loyalists who chanted: "Where is the press, the honourable man is here."

El-Awa, a former presidential candidate, complained that many of Morsi's lawyers are not being allowed into court.

According to the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party website, only 4 out of 28 of Morsi's lawyers were allowed in court.

"This did not happen during Mubarak's trial," El-Awa told reporters outside the court.

According to privately-owned channel Al-Hayat, Judges have postponed the start of the session as Morsi, who has reportedly announced he does not recognise the court, refuses to put on his prison clothes."
