According to security officials quoted by al-Masry al-Youm daily, Mrs. Mubarak
lashed out at wardens for not giving her husband permission to seek
treatment outside the prison. “You will be responsible for his death,” she
allegedly said.
Mubarak’s two sons Alaa and Gamal are also being held. They were acquitted on
June 2 of corruption charges, but still face separate charges of insider
trading.
On Saturday, Egypt’s state run news agency MENA quoted officials as saying
that Mubarak is at risk of stroke, quoting a medical team’s report.
Other media reports said that his lawyer Farid al-Deeb informed him that he
will soon be transferred back to a military facility in the Cairo suburb of
Maadi.
In his last public appearance on June 2, the bedridden Mubarak sat
stoned-faced in the courtroom cage. However, officials said that he broke
into tears when he learnt that he will be transferred to Torah prison. It
took officials hours to convince Mubarak to leave the helicopter that
ferried him from the courthouse to the prison.
