Egypt: Prosecutor orders Mubarak to Cairo military hospital
Davide Morandini Published in Bikya Masr on 16 - 04 - 2011

CAIRO: Egypt's General Prosecutor Abdel Maguid Mahmoud ordered ousted President Hosni Mubarak to be transferred to military hospital Hadayak al-Quba in Cairo. The former Egyptian president was already summoned for interrogations last week, but has since remained in the famous touristic location Sharm el-Sheikh in South Sinai, where he and his family found shelter after 18 days of protest in the capital led to his removal.
Mubarak and his sons Gamal and Alaa were put in custody for 15 days pending allegations of corruption, abuse of power and the killing of peaceful demonstrators during recent uprisings.
Gamal and Alaa Mubarak were immediately transferred to Tora prison.
The former President reportedly suffered a heart attack during interrogations and was subsequently transferred to Sharm el-Sheikh hospital where he reached the presidential suite walking on his own.
State-owned newspaper al-Ahram reported the head of Cairo's appeals court Zakaria Shalash as saying that Mubarak might face execution if transferred to a military hospital. According to Shalash, former Interior Minister Habib el-Adly declared that he himself ordered the shooting of demonstrators after Mubarak ordered the use violence against protesters.
Adly himself has been on trial for similar allegation since early March.
“Mubarak will receive the same punishment as the person who carried it out and it could reach execution if it is proven that peaceful demonstrators were killed with premeditation,” Shalash told Alahram.
According to the head of the Administrative Prosecution Taymour Mostafa, Hosni Mubarak might face execution after a trial no longer than 6 months. Former First Lady Suzanne Mubarak will be also summoned for questioning about illicit gains.
Member of the Muslim Brotherhood's youth wing Muataz Abdel Karim has called for a public trial for the ex-President and his family, as it would give hope that Egypt could become a genuine “rule-of-law” state.
“Egyptians have witnessed significant growth with respect to the military's laxity on trial of the remnants' of Mubarak's regime,” the Muslim Brotherhood's said on its official website in a statement on Saturday. “The Muslim Brotherhood is waiting for a quick trial, maintaining a just punishment for the blood of the martyrs shed.”
In related news, Egyptian lawyers acting for Mamdouh Habib notified their will to sue the head of Egyptian Intelligence General Omar Sulaiman along with Habib al-Adly, Gamal and Hosni Mubarak, for being tortured when under custody to Guantanamo Bay.
