The Court of Cassation has ordered a retrial of former President Hosni Mubarak and his former Interior Minister Habib al-Adly on charges related to the killing of protesters during the 25 January revolution. The court also accepted challenges to its verdict clearing Mubarak, his sons Alaa and Gamal and Hussein Salem of illegally exporting gas to Israel and abuse of power. Alaa, Gamal and six of Adly's assistants were also ordered retried. They were found not guilty of charges related to the killings of protesters, and the not guilty verdict on this charge was challenged as well. Cairo Criminal Court sentenced Mubarak and Adly in June tolife in prison over failing to prevent the killings of protesters as well as abusing power and financial corruption. The same court acquitted Alaa, Gamal and the six assistants of failing to prevent protester deaths. In a non-mandatory report over the case, appeal prosecutors recommended a retrial of Mubarak and Adly in light of their appeals, which were submitted by their defense teams in June.
