( CNN ) -- Former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy will stand trial on charges of incitement to conduct murder and `` thuggery '' relating to clashes near the presidential palace in December , state-run MENA reported Sunday . The country 's general prosecutor ordered Morsy to stand trial along with 14 members of the Muslim Brotherhood , the news agency said . No date was given for the trial . The charges stem from when pro- and anti-Morsy protesters clashed outside the presidential palace in early December . Demonstrators were protesting his then-recent edict granting himself sweeping powers and a proposed constitution -- drafted by an Islamist-dominated council -- that they feared would give him even more power . After Morsy supporters chased protesters from the grounds , both sides threw rocks , fireworks and Molotov cocktails . At least 10 people were killed , according to the semiofficial al-Ahram newspaper . Citing investigators , it said that Morsy and his staff are accused of ordering supporters to attack protesters after guards and members of the Interior Ministry reportedly refused to do it . Morsy , who was deposed by the military amid widespread protest over his rule , has been held in detention since early July . Egypt has been in turmoil since then , with the military battling Muslim Brotherhood members and other Morsy supporters . Each side blames the other for stoking the violence . Last month , about 900 people -- citizens as well as members of security forces -- were killed . The deaths occurred when the military used force to clear two pro-Morsy sit-in sites in Cairo . Morsy was elected after longtime Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak was toppled . Mubarak appeared in court last week as his retrial resumed on charges involving the killing of hundreds of protesters during the popular 2011 uprising that led to his ouster . Mubarak was convicted on the charges last year and sentenced to life in prison , but he appealed the ruling and was granted a retrial . A court ordered Mubarak released last month and placed under house arrest . GPS : Have crimes against humanity been committed in Egypt ? CNN 's Yousuf Basil contributed to this report .
