Mubarak Sentenced to life in Prison

Judge Ahmed Refaat, responsible for overseeing the Mubarak trial, has sentenced deposed Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak to life in prison today for ordering the killing of protesters during the uprising that swept him from power last year. He also sentenced his former interior minister, Habib el-Adli, to life in prison on the same charge. On the other hand, same charges on the six former security aides to Habib el Adli along with Alaa and Gamal Mubarak have been dropped by the court.

Mubarak and both his sons have been cleared of any financial charges, although the sons still face another case for Stock Market fraud.
