DTN News - EGYPT NEWS: Mubarak Faces Death If Convicted In Protester Shootings....NSI News Source Info # 1888Egypt's ousted president Hosni Mubarak will be sentenced to death if the courts find him responsible for the death of hundreds of pro-democracy protesters, the country's new justice minister said on Saturday.
Mohammed el-Guindi told the Al-Ahram newspaper that Mubarak, his wife and two sons are facing allegations of corruption stemming from 30 years in power.
Mubarak, 82, stepped down from office in February following an 18-day protest centralized on Cairo's Tahrir Square. At least 846 protesters were killed during the uprising.
Mubarak was later placed under arrest, after spending time in a hospital suffering from heart problems, and accused of ordering the use of deadly force.
El-Guindi said that Mubarak will be tried for the protesters' deaths, adding that former Interior Minister Habib el-Adly could testify that Mubarak had ordered him to open fire on the protesters.
