Egypt's erstwhile president Hosni Mubarak, 84, is expected to be paraded in court today, April 13, for a re-trial following new charges linked to the killings of protesters
during the revolution that toppled him in 2011.
Mubarak, who ruled the north African country for nearly three decades, is charged along his two sons and a former interior minister, Habib al-Adly.
In June 2012. Mubarak and al-Adly were earlier found guilty of failing to prevent the killings of protesters and were handed life jail time by a Cairo court.
His two sons, Gamal and Alaa, will be retried on corruption charges. They were acquitted on the same charges in June last year.
