Cairo: Egypt’s ousted president Hosni Mubarak was taken back to prison from an army hospital yesterday after appearing fitter at his aborted retrial on charges of complicity in the killings of protesters in 2011.
Hundreds of his supporters blocked the road in front of the hospital late on Wednesday, the MENA state news agency said.
“We love you Mubarak” and “Down, down with the rule of the Muslim Brotherhood,” chanted the protesters. The retrial of Mubarak will start again on May 11, a Cairo appeals court said on Wednesday. A first attempt collapsed on Saturday when the presiding judge withdrew from the case and referred it to
