[Updated at 10:01 a.m. ET] Former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak was ordered to a military hospital after a report conducted by doctors stated that he had fractures in three of his ribs after he slipped in a prison hospital
bathroom this month, his lawyer Farid El Deeb told CNN.
[Posted at 8:19 a.m. ET] Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, who is serving a life sentence in a Cairo prison, is being transferred to a military hospital for medical treatment, state-run TV reported Thursday.
Egypt's state prosecutor ordered the transfer. An update of Mubarak's health was not given.
Mubarak suffered a head injury and a bruised chest when he slipped in a prison hospital bathroom this month. The 84-year-old is serving a life sentence in Cairo's Tora prison for his role in the killing of pro-reform demonstrators during Egypt's recent revolution.
FULL STORY
He looks pretty angry.
Sure, he fell. I would not buy that story even if it was in an American prison. Also @Benn, I think he looks more arrogant than angry. That is a pure Khadaffi look, it says , "My people love me, I will never be convicted"–LOL. I think we will probably see a similar look on Assad's face if things keep deteriorating for him.
Amazing, they NEVER get it until they are beat up in prison or carried and beaten before being shot on a jeep in the desert. OR in a hole in the middle of po dunk Iraq.
Looks like the egyptians are beginning to wish they never overthrew Mubarak. Now that they are getting an islamist govt. I guess the did not learn the lesson of the Iranian disaster of 1979...
So much so that they overwhelmingly voted for the current administration. Reality check sir.
The majority of Egyptians voted for a secular democratic government. Too long under autocrats, but unprepared for real democracy.
Hiliary should be there with him, that would scare the life out of him.
At least his not in an american prison. Then he would been sodomized as well while falling..
Its the american way.. People wont forget Abu Ghraib.. 🙂
Wonder if the doctors used air quotes and a sarcastic tone when they said the word..."fell".
If the Muslim Brotherhood gains power in Egypt, that country will become Iran II. And our president wants to give Egypt 20 F-16 fighters and 200 M1A1 Abrams tanks. NOT good.
The last I heard about Mubarek was that he was brain dead. Unless he had a miraculous recovery, how does a brain dead individual have a slip and fall in the bathroom?
Sad it sounds,"those killed where fewer, compared to the palestians he saved".Amen God Bless!
Not going to make it , People of the world do not meet the governments they can sustain themselves
The guy is fine they want to see the emotions from public , and if he is already expired they would say he is ill !!!
