Hosni Mubarak retrial date set for April 13

Egypt’s former President Hosni Mubarak will face retrial on April 13, the country’s appeal court has decided.

Hosni Mubarak faces charges of conspiring to kill protesters during the 2011 revolt that forced him from power, and corruption.

A retrial was ordered in January after a court accepted his appeal against the life sentence he had been serving since his conviction last June.

Hosni Mubarak, 84, is currently in a military hospital. About 850 people were killed in the 2011 crackdown.
