Two sons of ousted Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak have been released from prison, nearly four years after they were first arrested along with their father, security officials have said.

Ousted Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak returned to prison today after weeks in a top-line military hospital, a security official said.

Ex-Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak’s health has taken a turn for the worst and he is likely to be moved out of his prison hospital to a military facility nearby, a prison official said today.

The health of former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak has entered a "dangerous" phase, security officials said.

Egypt’s ex-President Hosni Mubarak has been sentenced to life in prison after a court convicted him on charges of complicity in the killing of protesters during last year’s uprising that forced him from power.
