Mubarak attends court in hospital bed
Egypt’s ailing former president, Hosni Mubarak, lay on a hospital bed inside a cage of mesh and iron bars in a Cairo courtroom today as his historic trial began on charges of corruption and ordering the killing of protesters during the uprising which ousted him.
The scene, shown live on Egypt’s state TV, was Egyptians’ first look at the 83-year-old since February 10, the day before his fall when he gave a defiant speech refusing to resign.
