EGYPTIAN president Hosni Mubarak, charged with the killing of protesters and abuse of power, was wheeled into court on a hospital trolley as his trial resumed after a delay of almost two months while lawyers demanded a new judge.

EGYPTIAN prosecutors accused a police officer of giving false testimony yesterday in a heated session in the trial of Hosni Mubarak over his role in the killing of protesters.

THE judge trying Egypt’s former president Hosni Mubarak for the killing of protesters wrapped up yesterday’s session and said the court would reconvene on September 5 to begin hearing evidence in the case.
