Egypt's general prosecution referred on Tuesday ousted president Mohamed Morsi to a military court over violence in Suez governorate in August 2013, making it the first case in which he is to be tried under military law.
Morsi, along with 198 others, are charged with inciting violence, attacking and torching public institutions and joining a terrorist organisation.
The first session of the trial is set for 23 February.
Also being tried in the case are leading Muslim Brotherhood figures Mohamed El-Beltagy and Khairat El-Shater.
Following the bloody police dispersal of two pro-Morsi sit-ins in Cairo and Giza on 14 August 2013, violence erupted in several governorates nationwide.
The dispersal of the two sit-ins resulted in hundreds killed and injured.
Morsi was ousted on 3 July following three-day mass protests, after spending almost one-year in office. He was the first elected civilian president after the 25 January 2011 uprising.
Morsi is currently being tried in four other cases, but all in civilian courts. His charges are espionage, escaping from prison during the country's 2011 uprising, inciting his supporters to kill protesters opposed to his rule during his time in office, and leaking documents to Qatar.
In December 2013, Egypt's Cabinet labeled the Muslim Brotherhood, from which Morsi hails, a terrorist organisation.
Members of the Brotherhood and their supporters have been rounded up and are also currently facing trials.
