Critics angered as Mubarak trial adjourned to late December
Mubarak’s trial began nearly three months ago, and yesterday’s lengthy adjournment was certain to frustrate leaders of the anti-Mubarak protest movement who want to see the former leader and his co-defendants — his two sons, security chief and six top police officers — brought swiftly to justice.
Mubarak stepped down in February after a popular uprising. Reformers are frustrated by what they see as the slow progress by Egypt’s new military rulers to liberalise the system.
