Morsi, along with 14 other leading Muslim Brotherhood members, faces charges of inciting violence during protests outside the presidential palace last year.

All the roads from and to Tora will be blocked, while both relatives and the media will be subjected to searches, the source added, noting that security presence will be extended into several provinces after Islamists called for massive demonstrations to support Morsi's reinstatement.
