Mubarak retrial set for April 13
2013-03-04
The retrial of former Egyptian president Hosny Mubarak on charges related to the killing of protesters during the uprising against his nearly three-decade rule will begin on April 13, state television reported Sunday.
He's gonna die of old age before he gets executed...
Mubarak, 84, was toppled in February 2011 after an 18-day revolt and sentenced to life in prison in June 2012, dpa reported. In January, a top court granted Murbarak's appeal and ordered a retrial. He is staying at a military court near Cairo for medical treatment.

Mubarak's interior minister, Habib al-Adly, and six former security officials will also face retrials over the killings of protesters, according to the broadcaster.

A fact-finding mission found that at least 846 people were killed and more than 6,000 wounded during the state's crackdown on the uprising.
