Egypt's Badie: from the shadows to centre stage
 

https://s2.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/L...8a6dc9e25a.jpgMohammed Badie, supreme guide of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood who was sentenced to death Monday, once advocated a low profile for the group but eventually embraced its move to mainstream politics. A court in the central city of Minya sentenced Badie and 682 other alleged Islamists to death for the murder and attempted murder of policemen after police broke up a sit-in on August 14 in Cairo of supporters of deposed president Mohamed Morsi. Badie was **t brought to the court in the southern province of Minya for Monday's sentencing from the Cairo prison where he is being held. A slight, grey-bearded and bespectacled veterinary professor born in 1943, Badie was for years responsible for ideological education within the Brotherhood.
