Mubarak verdict to be delivered on Sept 27

Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak denied in court on Wednesday ordering the killing of protesters during the 2011 uprising that ended his 30-year rule.

Mubarak was sentenced to life in prison last year after being convicted on the same charge but an appeals court ordered a retrial. He was released from jail and is being kept under house arrest in a military hospital in Maadi, a Cairo suburb.

The verdict is scheduled to be issued on September 27. Mubarak, who is on trial with his sons and other senior officials, denied separate charges of corruption.
