Date set for Mubarak retrial

The retrial of ousted leader Hosni Mubarak, his sons and top aides will begin next month, an Egyptian court has said.

Mubarak, the first Arab ruler to be tried by his people after the uprisings that swept the Middle East and North Africa, was jailed for life for ordering the killing of demonstrators, but granted a retrial by a Cairo court in January.

Mubarak, who ruled Egypt for three decades, has been detained for nearly two years and is currently in a Cairo military hospital.

His sons and other figures have also faced charges of corruption and squandering public funds, which are due to be reheard.


Mubarak's sons Gamal and Alaa will go for retrial at the same time on charges of corruption and squandering public funds, the state news agency MENA reported.
