At the start of his trial on September 1, Okasha denied calling for the murder of the country's Islamist president.
"I merely criticised President Morsi," Tawfiq Okasha told judges. "This is a political trial. The Muslim Brotherhood wants to silence all dissent and reproduce the system from before the revolution."
Okasha's Al-Faraeen channel, suspended on August 16, aired a show that was stridently anti-Morsi and anti-Muslim Brotherhood, the party from which the leader emanates.
The next session of his trial has been set for October 3.
