UPDATE: Egyptian Court Orders Mubarak's Retrial

Sunday, Jan 13, 2013

CAIRO (AFP)-- Egypt's Court of Cassation on Sunday accepted an appeal for a retrial by former President Hosni Mubarak, who was sentenced to life for his involvement in the deaths of protesters in 2011.

Mubarak, his two sons Alaa and Gamal, his former interior minister and top security chiefs will now face a new trial, the court said after a very brief hearing.

The ruling was met with cries of "Long live justice!" by Mubarak supporters who held up the former strongman's picture and hugged each other in the courtroom, with dozens more outside shouting "We love you, president!"

Mubarak, his sons and former Interior Minister Habib al-Adly will remain in jail, however, as they still face separate cases.
