EGYPT’S former president Hosni Mubarak and his two sons will stand trial over the killing of protesters, the public prosecutor said today.
The prosecutor referred Mubarak – who has been detained for several weeks pending an investigation – to a criminal court on charges of killing protesters, abuse of power and wasting public funds.
The 83-year-old was overthrown Feb. 11 after more than two weeks of sometimes violent protests against his 30-year rule. Tens of thousands of demonstrators have called for his trial, AFP reported.
