Mubarak had ruled Egypt for 30 years before being overthrown by a popular revolution during last year’s Arab Spring. He was serving a life sentence in Cairo’s Torah Prison for failing to stop the killing of protesters during last year’s uprising against him. Details of the crisis remain sketchy.
Mubarak alikuwa ametawala Misri kwa miaka 30 kabla ya kupinduliwa na mapinduzi maarufu wakati wa Spring Spring ya mwaka jana. Alikuwa akitumikia kifungo cha maisha jela katika Gereza la Torah la Cairo kwa kushindwa kuzuia mauaji ya waandamanaji wakati wa uasi dhidi yake mwaka jana. Maelezo ya mzozo yanabaki kuwa mchoro.
