Hosni Mubarak, accused of corruption and involvement in killing protesters, went on trial on Wednesday. The former president was in the defendants cage along with his two sons - Alaa and Gamal, former Interior Minister Habib el Adly, and 6 ex officials.Supporters and opponents of the toppled leader were both present, and clashes soon erupted between the two sides.“I completely deny all those accusations,” said the 83-year-old former president after the prosecutor accused him of intending to kill peaceful protesters during an 18-day revolt that toppled him on Feb 11 and during the previous decade. The denials were echoed by Mubaraks two sons.The prosecutor also charged Mubarak with corruption and wasting public funds, and said he had authorised Adli to use live ammunition to quell demonstrations.About 850 people were killed during the unrest.After the session, Judge Ahmed Refaat said Mubarak would be moved to a Cairo hospital and Mubarak would have to attend the next court session on August 15.
