Mubarak unfit to be moved to prison

01 Jun, 2011

Ailing former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak is not well enough to be moved to prison from his hospital in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, the country's public prosecutor said on Tuesday. "After having examined (Mubarak's) medical file and evaluated (facilities) at the hospital in Tora prison, the committee has decided not to transfer the patient outside Sharm el-Sheikh for the moment," the prosecutor said.
Mubarak has been in custody in hospital since April 13 after reportedly suffering a heart attack during questioning about the killing of anti-regime protesters and fraud.
