| Mubarak to ask Egyptians for forgiveness |
| 2011-05-18 |
| [Iran Press TV] A media report says Egypt's ousted dictator Hosni Mubarak ...The former President-for-Life of Egypt, dumped by popular demand in early 2011... is expected to apologize to the Egyptians for any offense caused to the nation. "I'm so deeply sorry! Please don't chop my head off!" Mubarak would soon address the Egyptian people to ask for forgiveness for himself and his family, al-Shoroukdaily said in a report on Tuesday. He is also expected to announce his readiness to relinquish his assets and plead for amnesty. Mubarak and his wife are under arrest in a hospital in the Egyptian city of Sharm el-Sheikh. They reportedly suffered heart attacks during questioning over corruption charges. Both are charged with abuse of power. Egyptians are opposed to granting amnesty to Mubarak as they say he ordered the killing of scores of protesters. He was toppled in February following weeks of anti-government protests. At least 846 people were killed during the uprising which led to his eventual fall. Egypt's judicial sources say Mubarak could face the death penalty if found guilty of killing anti-regime protesters during the revolution. |
