Islam Times - Egypt's Mubarak appears in fresh trial over protesters deaths

lslam Times - Ousted Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak has appeared in court to face a new trial over his role in the killing of anti-government protesters in 2011.

The trial is being held at a police academy on the outskirts of the capital, Cairo.

The former ruler was airlifted to the Cairo court from a nearby prison.

Mubarak appeared in court with other top aides including his interior minister, Habib al-Adly, on Saturday.

Mubarak and several of his top officials are accused of complicity in the deaths of hundreds of demonstrators during the Egyptian revolution.

Mubarak and his two sons Gamal and Alaa are also being retried on corruption charges.

The defendants have all pleaded not guilty to the multiple charges.

The former longtime ruler was sentenced to life in prison last June, but an appeals court later overturned the sentence and ordered a retrial.

The government prosecutors told the judge that they are presenting new evidence from a fact-finding committee's report.

Latest reports say Egypt's court has decided to adjourn Mubark’s retrial to June 6, 2013.
