In this Monday, Jan. 9th, 2012 file photo, former Egyptian president Hosni Moobark is wheeled into a court house in Cairo, Egypt. A court granted Hosni Moobark’s appeal of his life sentence in a Sunday, Jan. 13th, 2013 hearing, ordering a retrial of the ousted Egyptian president on charges that he failed to prevent the killing of hundreds of protesters during the uprising that toppled his regime nearly 2 years ago. The ruling came 1 day after a prosecutor placed a new detention order on Moobark over gifts worth millions of Egyptian pounds (hundreds of thousands of US dollars) he and other regime officials allegedly received from Egypt’s top newspaper as a show of loyalty while he was in power. |
