Former-Egypt Leader Hosni Mubarak cleared of corruption & murder charges

Former Egyptian president, Hosni Mubarak has been cleared of charges of corruption and killing of countless Egyptian protesters in a revolution that toppled him in 2011.

Mubarak ruled Egypt for 29 years. The 86-year-old Mubarak was convicted in 2012 of issuing orders to kill peaceful protesters through the country’s 2011 uprising and was sentenced to life in prison. He appealed and was granted a fresh trial last year.
Also acquitted were Mubarak’s former Interior Minister Habib el-Adly and six of el-Adly’s aides, who’d been accused to be attached to the deaths of 239 protesters as security forces cracked down to them in 2011. Mubarak’s two sons also were acquitted Saturday of corruption.
