Morsi urges \\\'revolution\\\' from caged dock

CAIRO, Feb 22 (AFP): Egypt's deposed Islamist president Mohamed Morsi called on his followers Saturday to press on with their "peaceful revolution", during his trial on charges related to jailbreaks and attacks on police.
Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood has continued to stage diminishing weekly protests despite a crackdown that has killed more than 1,400 people since the military overthrew him in July.
Meanwhile: An Egyptian court acquitted six police on Saturday of killing protesters during the 2011 uprising against Hosni Mubarak, as his now deposed Islamist successor Mohamed Morsi went back on trial.
The acquittal of the six officers on charges of killing 83 protesters outside police stations in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria, came as a Cairo court resumed the trial of Morsi on charges of plotting violence during the revolt.
Morsi was toppled by the military in July last year following mass protests demanding his resignation. Since then he and his Muslim Brotherhood have been retroactively accused of committing much of the violence during the anti-Mubarak uprising.
Morsi, and 130 other defendants including Palestinian and Lebanese militants, are now being tried for organising jailbreaks and attacking police stations during the revolt.
Saturday's hearing was the second of the trial, after an opening hearing in January. It is one of three faced by Morsi.
Nearly 850 people died during the 18-day uprising that toppled Mubarak, most of them on January 28, 2011, when protesters battled the then-despised police.
Many of those who died were killed outside police stations when protesters attacked what they saw as symbols of Mubarak's autocratic rule.
More than a dozen policemen were put on trial, including top commanders. Mubarak himself was sentenced to life in prison for his involvement in the killings, but won a retrial on appeal.
