Mubarak Goes on Trial, Charges Include Collaboration with “Israel”
The ousted Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's televised trial was launched on Wednesday, in his first appearance since his overthrow in February 2011. Accused of many charges, Mubarak, along with his sons, interior minister, and assistants, showed up in the Cairo Court to be tried for their crimes.
An outrage was torched in the hearts of the people, who had had it with the assaults of the Mubarak regime, which killed and tortured innocent civilians, not to mention the difficult economic and social status the former regime led the country to face.
Hosni Mubarak's charges of killing protesters during the anti-regime uprising which swept across the country would lead to a 5 year sentence or maybe death penalty on his behalf.
Mubarak is to face many charges, among which is exporting gas to the "Israeli" enemy for prices below the market rate. Once this issue is discussed in the trial, it is expected to lead to an anti-"Israel" outburst, and further sour relations between al-Quds (Jerusalem) and Cairo, DEBKAfile reported.
In this context, according to Tehran Times, Iranian Military Official, Brigedier General Masoud Jazayeri predicted that the trial of former Egyptian President Mubarak will help annul contracts, including those sealed with "Israel", especially on the level of the gas export deal.
On its part, Amnesty International said that the trial of former Egyptian President must be fair and transparent in order to reveal the truth about unlawful killings of anti-government protesters.
The human rights group's Director for the Middle East and North Africa, Malcolm Smart, stated, "This trial presents a historic opportunity for Egypt to hold a former leader and his inner circle to account for crimes committed during their rule".
Furthermore, Smart stressed, "If the trial is going to be a meaningful break with Egypt's record of impunity, it must be both fair and transparent - justice demands no less. Not only must the trial be fair but it must be seen to be fair, not least by the families of those who died during the protests".
