Mubarak to stand trial for the death of protesters

Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and his two sons will be maintained the trial for the death of hundreds of demonstrators during the revolution of the country earlier this year. The three are facing the penalty of death if recognized guilty of the charges.

The Egypt Attorney General made the announcement Tuesday after weeks of investigation into the crackdown and alleged corruption. In a statement on Facebook, the Attorney said that the crimes of Mubarak were "intentional murder, attempted to kill some demonstrators... undue influence and deliberately wasteful of public funds and profits and private financial gain illegally."

Mubarak, 83, was too ill to be transferred to the prison of Tora prison in Cairo where his son, Gamal and Alaa, are held. Instead, he remained in a hospital in the station of Rea sea of Sharm el-Sheikh, following a heart attack.

The former President resigned from Office on February 11 after a massive 18-day uprising that brought thousands of Egyptians in the streets. More than 800 deaths in the hands of security, the forces loyal to Mubarak. The Egyptian uprising helped fuel the so-called "Arab Spring" which has since spread to Bahrain, the Syria and the Libya.

The Egyptian army took over the administration of the country, promising parliamentary and presidential elections later this year. But the army has been strongly criticized for his authoritarian tactics and Tahrir square - Central Cairo intersection, made famous by the revolution – continues to see protests every Friday after the noon prayer. There are calls for a "million-man March" for May 27 and Monday, hundreds of bloggers posted messages critical of the military Council and its leader, the marĂ©chal Mohamed Tantawi.

It was reported that Mubarak planned to apologize to be broadcast to the nation, in which he would also agree to confiscate its property, but he never arrived.

Mubarak wife, Suzanne, had also been arrested but was released after signing over millions to the State.

A trial would probably several months and would be open to the Egyptian public, which many have long called for his prosecution. However, the death penalty that many hope for is far from assured.
