Retrial of Hosni Mubarak and his Aids

Note by the Editor of the Blog: What happens to Hosni Mubarak in result of his retrial in the case he was charged with killing peaceful demonstrators? Actually, still it is difficult to read the mind of judiciary, which has bafflement  and obscurity in its attitude since revolutionaries emerged successful and Hosni Mubarak was downed. With its unjust judgments just for appeasing the masters this institution has the blood of tens of thousands innocent Egyptians during around 60 years of three successive military dictators. Members and activists of Muslim Brotherhood had been major victims of blind and unmindful decisions of judiciary. Now, since Dr. Morsi has taken the charge as the first elected president of Egypt, judiciary is at loggerheads with him with every effort to make him fail in smoothly discharging his duties as the president.  Power in the hands of a man, firmly committed to his faith, moral values and constitutional demands is immensely prickling for remnants of the previous regime who are active to get it restored in any shape. Almost three of the contenders for the top post who suffered disgrace of defeat in presidential election have joined hands to make the fragile democratic system flopped. Judiciary's attitude on several occasions in recent past indicated its clear backing to undemocratic forces who are out to waste all that was gained in the 'Arab Spring'. Now when Mubarak's case is going to be opened for retrial most of the fair minded people are skeptic about any admonitory and reprimanding ruling by the judges against former dictator. Munir Ahmed Khalili   Freedom and Justice Party legal expert Ashri believes new evidence will be accepted in the case against ousted president Mubarak and his top officials charged with killing peaceful revolutionaries.

Mukhtar Ashri, Chairman of the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) Legal Committee, affirmed that the report of the fact-finding committee could be included in the re-trial of deposed Mubarak and others accused of killing unarmed revolutionaries, because it includes vital new evidence. "The acceptance of the appeal is a normal step in the legal procedure, especially as the prosecution’s challenge against those acquitted in the same case has been accepted. Re-trials will begin soon for Mubarak and Adli and others. "New suspects may be added, according to the Law on the Protection of the revolution, with the amended procedural law." Ashri said he did not expect Mubarak to be acquitted. On the contrary, he expected him and his interior minister to receive the death penalty, according to the new evidence contained in the fact-finding committee’s report. Earlier, the Court of Cassation, headed by Judge Ahmed Ali Abdel-Rahman, First Deputy Chairman of the Court of Cassation, reversed all judgments of the Cairo Criminal Court, in the case of the ousted president and co-defendants, and ordered retrials for all before a Cairo Criminal Court different form that which issued the first verdicts. The re-trial for killing peaceful protesters during the January revolution will include the ousted president, the Minister of interior and six of his top aides: Major General Ahmed Ramzi, former head of the Central Security Forces; Major General Adli Fayed, former director of Public Security; Major General Hassan Abdel-Rahman, former head of State Security; Major General Ismail Al-Shaer, former director of Security of Cairo; Major General Osama Al-Marasi, former director of Security of Giza; Major General Omar Faramawy, former director of Security of ‘Sixth of October’ city. There will also be a re-trial of the case of financial corruption, presidential influence peddling and exporting Egyptian gas to Israel. This will also include the deposed president and his two sons Alaa and Gamal Mubarak, as well as fugitive businessman Hussein Salem.
