The trial of Mohamed Morsi, Egypt's deposed president, on charges of incitement of violence and murder has been adjourned until January 8.
Morsi's appearance on Monday at a police academy in an eastern Cairo district was his first public appearance since his military-orchestrated overthrow on July 3.
If convicted, Morsi - Egypt's first freely elected president - could face the death penalty.
He was flown on Monday from a secret military location to the venue of his trial by helicopter, while his co-defendants were brought to the trial venue from their jail in a suburb south of Cairo in armoured police cars.
According to leaks from inside the courtroom, the session was temporarily suspended by the judge, who wanted Morsi to obey the court's rules on defendants' clothes and the other defendants to stop their chants against the trial.
