The trial of former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak resumed in a criminal court on the outskirts of Cairo on Monday, amid tight security. Mubarak is facing charges of having ordered the killing of around 850 people during the revolt that toppled him from power in February. The trial has seen some violence between supporters and opponents of Mubarak since the start of the trial on August 3. Mubarak is being held at a military medical center outside Cairo since August. He is being tried alongside his sons, Alaa and Gamal and former interior minister Habib al-Adli and six former security aides. All the defendants have pleaded not guilty.
