Egypt’s Ex-dictator Mubarak is airlifted from prison

Egyptian Ex-dictator Mubarak has been freed today, after a court ordered his release.
According to the Independent, quoting state TV, Mubarak has been airlifted out of the prison by a medically equipped helicopter and has been transferred to a military hospital in Cairo where he will be kept under house arrest.

Convening at the Cairo jail where Mubarak was being held, the court ordered the release of Mubarak, who ruled Egypt for 30 years until he was finally overthrown in the uprisings that first swept the Arab world in early 2011.
Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi’s decision followed an appeal from the youth campaign that spearheaded the petition and protests against Morsi, asking the interim authorities to use the emergency measures in place earlier this month to keep the former president behind bars.
