The Court of Appeals in Egypt received this morning (Sunday) the appeal of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and former Interior Minister Habib Adli, the life sentence imposed on them, and ordered the case to a retrial.


With the publication of the court's decision, dozens of supporters of the former President broke out into cries of joy.


The protesters, who gathered outside the court in Cairo - where the decision was given, read in part: "The most honorable Egyptian is Mubarak", "The judges had their say," "All the world can see – Mubarak's judges do not fear."

Last June, an Egyptian court convicted Mubarak for involvement in killing demonstrators protesting against the regime during the 18 days of the revolution in February 2011. Apart from Interior Minister Habib Adli, was also convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment, all other officials standing trial - Mubarak's two sons and six interior minister's aides - were acquitted.

With the learning of the ruling, Egyptian media reported that Mubarak had a heart attack and would not go to 'Torre' jail - where he was sent to serve his sentence. Even while he was in prison it was reported many times about the deterioration of Mubarak's medical condition.


Last December it was reported that the former president was transferred to a military hospital, Mu'adh, in order to receive treatment that did not exist in the prison hospital. However, medical sources reported recently that although Mubarak's condition deteriorated, it is still stable.
