MOSCOW, September 27 (RIA Novosti) — Egyptian court today postponed until November 29 a verdict in case against former president of Egypt, Hosni Mubarak on charges of corruption and ordering killing of protesters during the 2011 uprising.
The judge said he has not finished reviewing all the evidence in the case, which amounted to 160,000 pages.
Mubarak ruled Egypt for almost 30 years before being ousted in the uprising.
In 2012, he was found guilty and sentenced to life, but the conviction was later overturned on technical grounds.
Retrial began in April 2013, which also included Mubarak's former interior minister and six former security generals.
Mubarak is already serving a three-year prison sentence for embezzlement of public funds. In August, a court ordered 86-year-old Mubarak's release from prison and transfer to a military hospital in Cairo due to health reasons, where he is currently being held.
In summer, Mubarak was allowed to address the nation during his televised speech. He said that he did his best to fulfil his duties as president and denied all allegations.
Beginning in December 2010, mass demonstrations against poverty, corruption, and political repression broke out in several Arab countries, challenging the authorities. This was the case in Egypt, where an uprising forced one the most influential and long-standing leaders from power.
