Former President of Egypt Hosni Mubarak 84, has accused the current government that ousted him of planning to kill him in jail.
‘They want to kill me. Save me, Farid, find me a solution,” said Farid al-Deeb, his chief lawyer in the murder and corruption trial that ended this month with his sentencing.
Mubarak is serving a life sentence over protester killings, has said the authorities “want to kill” him in jail as his health deteriorated, his lawyer told media.
The former president’s health has deteriorated since his imprisonment on June 2, and he was defibrillated twice to revive his heart on Monday.
He is currently being held in an intensive care wing of Cairo’s Tora prison. Prison authorities agreed on Monday to allow his son Alaa, also jailed in the same prison on corruption charges, to join him and his other son Gamal.
Mubarak’s wife Suzanne and his two daughters-in-law were given special permission to visit him on Sunday following rumours that he had died in prison.
