CAIRO, Feb 10 (Aswat Masriya) A Cairo criminal court adjourned on Monday the trial of ousted President Hosni Mubarak and others to March 8.
Mubarak, his sons and interior minister Habib al-Adly, and six of his aides, are accused of complicity in the killing of peaceful protesters during the January 25 uprising of 2011.
“Mubarak gave orders to the national guard to not attack any protester even if they raid his bedroom,” Adly’s deputy testified in Monday’s hearing.
Mubarak and his aides are also accused of corruption, profiteering and illegally exporting fuel to Israel at an unacceptable rate.
