This article talks about the former President of Egypt, Mubarak. The 84 year old was overthrown in 2011 from mass protests in which many died. Mubarak, along with the former interior minister have been in jail. In June of 2011 they were acquitted but will now be retried. "In a brief announcement Judge Ahmed Ali Abdel Rahman said: "The court has ruled to accept the appeal filed by the defendants... and orders a retrial." The same evidence will be used in the trial but no new evidence will be added. Mubarak is being tried again on killing of protesters and corruption. Mubarak's sons were also tried for being involved with insider trading and using their position to buy land for cheap. This is a big deal because it may mean justice for many if Mubarak is sentenced. Many lives were taken and ruined due to Mubarak's control.
