Egypt’s Mubarak Retrial Begins

{{The former Egyptian President, Hosni Mubarak, has appeared in court, three days after being released from prison and placed under house arrest.}}

Mr Mubarak is facing a retrial on charges of complicity in the killing of protesters during the 2011 uprising.

He sat in the defendants’ cage along with his two sons, former interior minister, and six security chiefs.

Earlier, the separate trial of the Muslim Brotherhood’s general guide and his two deputies was adjourned.

The court convened briefly and made its decision because Mohammed Badie, Khairat al-Shater and Rashad Bayoumi and 32 other defendants were absent for security reasons.

Their presence was requested for the trial’s resumption on 29 October.
