Egypt’s Mubarak is suffering from cancer

Share:

Egypt’s former President Hosni Mubarak is suffering from cancer, his defence lawyer said on Monday, citing a medical report to assess whether the former leader is fit enough to face trial.

“Mubarak has cancer and this was included in the last medical report,” said lawyer Farid el-Deeb.

Mubarak, 83, was forced from office in February after a popular uprising. He is due to stand trial on Aug. 3. for the killing of protesters and abuse of power, charges he denies.

He has been detained in hospital in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh since mid-April after officials said he had heart problems during initial questioning.

The timing of Mubarak’s illness means he has been spared jail, fuelling talk that the former decorated air force officer was getting special treatment from the army which took power after his overthrow.

A committee of doctors appointed to assess Mubarak’s state of health said in late May that he should not be moved to a prison hospital because he was depressed, had poor blood circulation and was at risk of a sudden heart attack.

The medical team also said he had tumours in his gall bladder and pancreas, for which he had operations in the past.

Rumours over Mubarak’s health circulated for years before he was ousted from power but government officials always denied any life-threatening illness including cancer.

    What goes around comes around, and God has proven this. 
    Nothing evil will last for too long, even the great undefeated Soviet Union collapsed.
    Mubarak was a very brutal and self centered man, i was watching something about Egypts police brutality, and a man “Suspected” of working with Al Queda was dragged on the street had his skull cracked in half on a staircase of a Cafe, they found out after this man was just a regular businessman. This is the kind of dirt Mubarak made, a lot of videos of Egyptian protesters being shot in cold blood. 
    I understand his stance against terrorism, but he played the game that everyone could be a terrorist except the army and police and brutalized the Egyptians lives. Im happy that the Christians and Muslims held hands protesting and protecting eachother and it should stay that way forever and hopefully it will end up like Lebanon were a Church and Mosque are only couple hundreds of feet away from eachother, despite our religious differences i think us Lebanese are advancing well as a nation that excepts eachother, when Hezbollah is gone i think we can raise Lebanon to become the Pearl of the Middle East, and no more a country that is remembered for killing eachother based on different ideologies and party preferences. I have many Sunni friends nowadays and we always respect eachother like we were brothers, the Egyptians should do the same also, Coptics and Sunnis should be going to school together and working together peacefully!
    As i said what goes around comes around, Mubarak killed his people, he is dying like a dog now,
    Ben Ali is sufering from a stroke,
    Asad is going to die while people piss on him alive.
    Is Nasrallah keeps up what hes doing he will also be dragged from his cave and hanged by his balls.
    Time will tell.
