A Cairo court has adjourned the retrial of former president Hosni Mubarak in the case of complicity in the killing of protesters during the 2011 uprising that ousted him until July 6. The court has also ordered the release of Mubarak's two sons, Alaa and Gamal. Mubarak arrived at the court by military helicopter from Tora Prison Hospital. Presiding Judge Mahmoud El-Rashidi began the third hearing of the trial, which began in May, by asking the defendants to confirm their names. "Thank God it's correct this time, sir," Alaa Mubarak said, in reference to several slips by the judge in previous sessions. The judge then went through a number of exhibits, including a CD, an envelope and a flash drive. Defence lawyers asked for access to all documentary evidence in the case and for adequate time to read it. The judge then announced a 45-minute recess. A small number of relatives of those killed during the 2011 revolution were outside the court amid a heightened security presence. In its last session on Saturday, the court rejected all civil complaints filed by the plaintiffs' lawyers and said they should be referred to a court with the appropriate jurisdiction.
