Egyptian President Ousted During Arab Spring Is Sentenced to Life in Prison

FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian president who was ousted from office during an uprising last year, was sentenced by a judge Saturday to life in prison for the killing of unarmed protesters during what has become known as the Arab Spring.

Social media played a key role in the uprising that began in January 2011 on the Day of Rage — a protest of Mubarak’s 30-year rule. It acted as a means of large-scale organization, coming together partly because of a Facebook Page, and also as an amplifier for the events happening within the country, even as the government tried to shut down access. YouTube and Flickr showed images of the escalating violence in late January 2011.

Two weeks after the protests began, Mubarak resigned. Saturday’s news of his life sentence may be the greatest achievement of the uprising, says the New York Times; yet, the country still awaits the election of a new president, the ratification of a new constitution and the end of military rule.

The judge Saturday dismissed on technical grounds corruption charges against Mubarak and his sons. According to the New York Times, angry protesters had gathered in Tahrir Square to protest the ruling, which may not survive an appeal.
