The Higher Court of Appeal of Egypt justified the ex-president of the country Hosni Mubarak

The Higher Court of Appeal of Egypt justified the former president of the country Hosni Mubarak in the case of the murder of demonstrators during mass protests against his reign in 2011, BBC reports . This decision is final and is not subject to appeal.

Thus, all criminal prosecutions have been completed against Mubarak.

Judicial hearings in the Constitutional Court of the country at a second process against Hosni Mubarak resumed after a multi -month break. The lawyer of the former head of state Farid ad-Dib built his defense that the other defendants, including the ex-head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Habib al-Adley and six senior officials of the former regime are already justified without the right to revise the case.

“At the courts of various instances of numerous processes that have already completed, the police’s non-involvement in the attacks and killings of the demonstrators were repeatedly proved, and the criminal groups were found guilty of the“ Muslim Brother ”and the Palestinian movement of Hamas,” said the lawyer of the former head of state, Farid ad-Diba. He emphasized that Mubarak’s defense insists on fully justification, since previously the ex-head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Habib al-Adley and his assistants were fully justified on similar charges.

The court also rejected the request of the relatives of the victims during the demonstrations who asked to resume production in civil lawsuits, which were filed with Mubarak.

Mubarak has been in a military hospital for the past few years in connection with a poor state of health. Nevertheless, at the current process, he was present personally. He was taken to the court by helicopter.

On June 2, 2012, the court in Cairo sentenced Mubarak to life imprisonment , finding him guilty of involvement in the murder of demonstrators during civil unrest of the beginning of 2011. According to the court, Mubarak gave the order to shoot at the protesters. The accusation required the former president of the death penalty. Having announced the verdict, the judge called the era of the reign of Mubarak "dark years" and stated that the court was fair.

On August 22, 2013, Mubarak was released from custody and transferred under house arrest . The seriously ill former ex-president, who was then 85 years old, was delivered by a helicopter from the Torah prison complex to Cairo to a nearby military hospital.

On November 29, 2014, the Cairo Criminal Court justified Mubarak , as well as his two sons, the ex-head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and his assistants. Verdicts were carried out at once in several cases-about the death of demonstrators in the days of the January Revolution of 2011, about the export of gas to Israel at low prices and about corruption associated with the illegal assignment of villas in the charm-shoch of the Mubarak family.

However, the prosecutor's office filed a complaint with the Supreme Court of the acquittal of Mubarak.

Mubarae ruled Egypt for almost 30 years and was forced to resign on February 11, 2011 after 18 days of popular unrest.
