Key Events in Egypt's Uprising and Unrest Egypt's ousted President Mohammed Morsi goes on trial starting Monday on charges of inciting murder. Here are some key events from more than two years of turmoil and transition in Egypt: Jan. 25-Feb. 11, 2011: Egyptians stage nationwide protests against nearly 30 years of rule by autocrat Hosni Mubarak. Hundreds of protesters are killed as Mubarak and his allies try to crush the uprising, but the 18-day uprising ends with Mubarak's ouster. The military takes over, dissolving parliament and suspending the constitution. Nov. 28, 2011-Feb 15, 2012 - Egypt holds multi-stage elections for the first post-Mubarak parliament. In the lawmaking lower house, the Muslim Brotherhood wins nearly half the seats, and ultraconservative Salafis take another quarter. The remainder go to liberal, independent and secular politicians. In the largely powerless upper house, Islamists take nearly 90 percent of the seats. May 23-24, 2012 - The first round of presidential elections winnows down a field of 13 candidates, leaving two to face each other in a runoff: the Brotherhood's Mohammed Morsi and Ahmed Shafiq, the last prime minister under Mubarak. June 14 - The Supreme Constitutional Court orders the lower house of parliament dissolved on grounds the election rules were unconstitutional. June 16-17 - Presidential runoff election held. Morsi defeats Shafiq with 51.7 percent of the vote. June 30 - Morsi takes oath of office. Nov. 19 - Members of liberal parties and representatives of Egypt's churches withdraw from the assembly writing the constitution, protesting attempts by Islamists to impose their will. Nov. 22 - Morsi unilaterally decrees greater powers for himself, giving his decisions immunity from judicial review and barring the courts from dissolving the constituent assembly and the upper house of parliament. The move sparks days of protests. Islamists hurriedly finalize a draft constitution and Morsi sets a Dec. 15 date for a referendum. Dec. 4 - More than 100,000 protesters march on the presidential palace, demanding cancellation of the referendum. The next day, Islamists attack an anti-Morsi sit-in, sparking street battles that leave at least 10 dead. Dec. 15, Dec. 22 - Referendum is held, and Egyptians approve the constitution, with 63.8 percent voting in favor. Turnout is low. Jan. 25, 2013 - Hundreds of thousands protest against Morsi on the second anniversary of the start of the anti-Mubarak revolt. Protests rage over the next two months, with dozens dying in clashes. April 7 - A Muslim mob attacks the main cathedral of the Coptic Orthodox Church as Christians hold a funeral for four Christians killed the day before. Pope Tawadros II blames Morsi for failing to protect the building. June 30 - On Morsi's first anniversary in office, millions of Egyptians begin days of massive demonstrations demanding he step down. The military gives Morsi 48 hours to reach an agreement with his opponents. On July 2, he delivers a speech vowing not to step down. July 3 - Egypt's military chief Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi announces that Morsi has been deposed and that the chief justice of the Supreme Constitutional Court, Adly Mansour, will serve as interim president. Tens of thousands of Morsi supporters camp out in two mass sit-ins in Cairo's streets and launch mass protests demanding his return to office.
