Hosni Mubarak

  • Ousted Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak could face the death penalty if he is convicted on charges of corruption and complicity in the deaths of protesters during last year's revolution. But some analysts say that the prosecution's case was weak, and that the former leader may be acquitted.
  • Egypt has faced deteriorating security and a surge in crime since the popular uprising that ousted Hosni Mubarak a year ago. The country's military rulers have yet to transfer power to civilian rule, and though many are proud of the revolution, some argue Egypt is not much better off than it was under Mubarak.
