MurSisi plots continue: Egypt Court Orders Ex-Dictator Mubarak Release

13920530000668_PhotoIAn Egyptian court ordered the release of former President Hosni Mubarak on Wednesday, a judicial and a security source said.
The decision means he could leave prison later in the day as there are no longer any legal grounds for his detention, Reuters reported.

Mubarak, 85, is being retried on charges of ordering the killing of protesters during the 2011 uprising that led to his downfall.

He has served out the maximum amount of pretrial detention permitted in that case.
