Mubarak to stay in army hospital as health worsens
2012-12-29
CAIRO - EgyptÂ’s deposed leader Hosni Mubarak, who is serving a life sentence for his role in killing protesters during a 2011 revolt, will stay in an army hospital for at least two weeks after his health deteriorated, his lawyer said on Friday.

On Thursday evening, the 84-year-old former leader was transferred to an army hospital from his prison clinic after fracturing a rib in a recent fall.

“He will stay in the hospital for about 15 days,” Mohamed Abdel Razek, his lawyer, told Reuters. “The president’s health is stable, thank God. He underwent X-rays on his body and now he will get proper treatment in the hospital for all his bone problems he has been suffering from.”
