FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda In a statement, the state prosecutor’s office said it had ordered the start of the appeals, but did not mention whether all the verdicts or just the acquittals would be appealed.
On Saturday, June 2, Mubarak, 84, and his interior minister Habib al-Adly got life in prison for ordering the killing of nearly 900 protesters during the country’s historic revolution in February 2011.
Six top police commanders also faced the same charge for being involved in the killings, but were acquitted over a “lack of evidence.”
Mubarak also faced separate charges of corruption along with his sons Alaa and Gamal. But the charges were dropped.
Following the news, thousands of Egyptians took to the streets of Cairo in protest against the sentences, calling for the execution of Mubarak.
A group of protesters also stormed Mubarak’s last Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq’s offices and set fire to the building in the town of Fayyoum on Sunday morning after Shafiq said Mubarak’s verdict must be accepted.
Amnesty International says the Cairo court’s life in prison ruling for Mubarak fails to deliver full justice.
The Muslim Brotherhood’s presidential candidate Mohamed Morsi also joined the protesters in Tahrir Square late on Saturday to denounce the court ruling.
Morsi will face Shafiq in a run-off election on June 16 and 17.
