After more than two years in jail, Egypt's former President Hosni Mubarak has been released. Some say it is the strongest sign yet of a return to the old regime and the so-called deep state, while others argue it is a separate issue for the courts and his legal problems may not end there. Having spending his first night out of prison being treated in a military hospital in Cairo, Mubarak is now under house arrest, . His release comes after a tumultuous few weeks in Egypt, and it has raised doubts over whether the country's interim leadership has the will to pursue the case against him. When Egyptians revolted against Mubarak in 2011, it reflected their unhappiness with government corruption and police brutality. So now his release is being seen by some as a sign the military is rolling back the changes that were achieved.
