Mubarak's sons move from jail to mansion

Alaa Mubarak (C), son of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak

At least 25 people were killed in anti-government demonstrations. Witnesses said security forces and police fired at protesters. Some called for a new uprising.
An Egyptian court last week ordered the release of Alaa and Gamal Mubarak pending their retrial in a corruption case.


Mubarak's sons, big businessmen in his era of crony capitalism, were released at 2am, accompanied by their lawyer and bodyguards, and driven to their home in Cairo's upscale Heliopolis area, security officials said.
Security and medical officials said they had also visited Mubarak in the military hospital, where he is still in detention.

Judicial sources said Mubarak could soon be freed, pending retrial in a corruption case, as he currently has no convictions against him.
In November, an Egyptian court dropped its case against Mubarak over the killing of protesters in the revolt of 2011 that raised hopes of greater freedom.
