 Egyptian justice panel demands Mubarak retrial October 4, 2012 - 21:09 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Former President Hosni Mubarak and former Interior Minister Habib al-Adly will be retried on charges of killing peaceful protesters during the revolution, Justice Minister Ahmed Mekky said Thursday, Oct 4, according to Egypt Independent. Mekky explained that the retrial is necessary because the previous hearing disregarded incidents that took place in governorates outside of Cairo. Mekky told Al-Masry Al-Youm that the retrial would not cancel the previous ruling, but would add new sentences against the defendants if they are found guilty in incidents that were not considered in the first trial. Adel al-Saeed, spokesperson for the public prosecution, said the Cairo Criminal Court’s neglect of some incidents was one of the prosecutor’s reasons for appealing the verdict. He added in a statement that the prosecution demanded that Mubarak and Adly be retried over incidents that were ignored in the first ruling. The retrial was requested by the fact-finding committee formed to examine the killings of protesters during the revolution.
