Egypt former president Mubarak could be released soon

Egypt’s former president Hosni Mubarak, who has been in detention for more than two years, could be released later this month, according to legal experts.

A court trying Mubarak, 85, on charges of complicity in killing hundreds of protesters during a 2011 uprising against his rule, is expected next week to decide on ending his house arrest.

In August, another court ordered Mubarak released after he had settled a corruption case, drawing protests from revolutionary groups.

Interim Prime Minister Hazem Al Beblawi used his power granted under a state of emergency and ordered Mubarak be put under house arrest at a military hospital in southern Cairo.
