After reconvening Wednesday morning following a three-month hiatus, the Cairo Criminal Court adjourned the trial of former President Hosni Mubarak and other officials until Monday.
The decision came after the public prosecution was asked to submit a list of those killed or injured since the beginning of the January revolution, as well as reports and investigations regarding the incidents.
In the meantime, the defense team will be allowed to review the Administrative Supervisory Board’s memorandum to the court concerning the possible sale and purchase of a number of Sharm el-Sheikh villas by the former president.
Mubarak's sons Alaa and Gamal, former Interior Minister Habib al-Adly, six of Adly’s top aides, and businessman Hussein Salem are among the defendants in the trial.
Mubarak's lawyer Farid al-Deeb requested that Armed Forces Chief of Staff Sami Anan be summoned to testify, as well as Major General Mustafa Abdel Naby, the former head of the National Security Authority, Naguib Mohamed Abdel Salam, a former Republican Guard commander, Major General Hamdy Badeen, head of the military police, and Major General Tarek al-Mogy, head of the dissolved State Security Investigations Service anti-terrorist forces.
A number of skirmishes between Mubarak supporters and relatives of protesters killed during the revolution erupted outside the Police Academy after the trial session ended. The fighting resumed when Mubarak supporters raised posters of the former president, angering the victims’ relatives and prompting a verbal exchange between the sides.
Central Security Forces separated the two groups.
