CAIRO (Reuters) - The Muslim Brotherhood denounced the Egyptian authorities on Thursday for charging former President Mohamed Mursi and other Islamists with terrorism and conspiring with foreign groups, saying the allegations were "risible".

The Brotherhood also reiterated calls for all nations to put pressure on Egypt to free Mursi a day after the public prosecutor ordered him and 35 other top Brotherhood leaders to stand trial on charges that could result in the death penalty.
