Six months after leaving office, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak appeared in court on charges of killing protestors during the January demonstrations and for improper use of public funds.
Some Egyptians named the event the "trial of the century".
Millions of Egyptians watched the four-hour trial, which began Wednesday (August 3rd), either at home or in cafes. Work in most government departments and private companies came to a halt as employees were distracted by the event.
Mubarak appeared with his two sons, Alaa and Gamal, former Interior Minister Habib al-Adly and six of his top aides.
At the conclusion of the court session, presiding Judge Ahmed Refaat, head of the Cairo Criminal Court, adjourned the trial of Mubarak, his two sons, and fugitive businessman Hussein Salem until August 15th. The court also adjourned the trial of al-Adly and his aides until Thursday, at which time it was postponed until August 14th.
The trial was held at the Police Academy headquarters in the suburb of Tagammu Khames, east of Cairo. It was known as Mubarak's Academy before the revolution.
The court resolved a heated debate regarding where Mubarak would be held, announcing that he will stay at the International Medical Centre on the Cairo-Ismailia desert road. He will continue to receive appropriate medical care. The court also announced that Alaa and Gamal Mubarak will remain in prison.
During the session, Mubarak denied the prosecution's charges that he incited to kill peaceful demonstrators during the 18 days of demonstrations in January and that he exploited his position for illegal gains.
Mubarak's defence team, headed by lawyer Fareed al-Deeb, filed a number of motions with the court, one of which requested testimony from over 1,500 witnesses, including Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, head of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces.
The prosecutors demanded initial compensation of one billion pounds by the defendants to the Egyptian treasury to repair the damage to public and private property that occurred during the demonstrations.
Mubarak was forced to step down February 11th, after 18 consecutive days of demonstrations nationwide demanding the end to his presidency. Since he stepped down, Mubarak has refused to leave the country and settled in Sharm el-Sheikh Hospital for treatment after the prosecutor general ordered he be held in custody until a trial began.
Abdul Rahman Samir, a member of the Revolution Youth Coalition, told Al-Shorfa the trial is an accomplishment for the Egyptian revolution, and the image of Mubarak in the cage will be imprinted on the minds of all future presidents.
"The rule of law and the principle of accountability are the most important building blocks in founding a democratic state, especially in the case of an autocratic ruler who imposed an emergency law that he used to suppress the freedoms of Egyptians for more than 30 years," Samir said.
Samir does not expect a sentence to be issued soon, but noted the trial is a step toward restoring confidence between political groups and Egypt's ruling Supreme Military Council.
The Revolution Youth Coalition and more than 26 other groups suspended their sit-ins in Tahrir Square on Sunday to allow the judiciary an opportunity to decide on Mubarak's case and to give the new government a chance.
Mohammed Adel, the official spokesman for the April 6 Movement, said the trial is a "historic event". He added that by making the trial public and broadcasting it live, the issue is transparent for all Egyptians.
Adel said the trials of former regime officials are a result of the intense pressure the youth groups applied during the past three months.
Dr. Emad Gad, an analyst at al-Ahram Centre for Political and Strategic Studies, said the Mubarak trial is testimony that the revolution is a "genuine, pure, comprehensive revolution, and not just an uprising or a transitory movement."
Gad said the trial proceedings and Mubarak's appearance in a civil court went well and provide evidence of the civility and peaceful nature of the revolution. He noted that in some revolutions deposed leaders were tried in revolutionary courts or were executed, citing Romania as an example.
Cairo's crowded streets were clear of pedestrians and cars Wednesday. In the city centre, many coffee shops opened their doors to pedestrians to watch the trial free of charge, a notable exception to tradition because all cafes and restaurants usually close their doors during fasting hours in Ramadan.
Ismail Mahmoud, a worker in a Tahrir Square café, said the trial is an extraordinary moment, and the city centre did not sleep as people eagerly awaited the first session.
He recalled thousands of demonstrations in Tahrir Square over the past 15 years demanding freedom and justice, and that is why he and his friends insisted on following the trial from the square.
Most people who spoke with Al-Shorfa agreed that justice must be served, and some expressed sympathy for the former president because of his declining health.
Manar Uthman, 30, an employee with a private company, said, "Mubarak's trial is a priority in fulfilling the Egyptian revolution's demands and is a lesson to all officials in the Arab world."
"The blood of Egyptian citizens is not cheap and whoever sheds it must be punished, even if it is Mubarak, because the people are above all," she said.
Mustafa Amer, a 56-year-old retiree, opposed putting Mubarak in the defendants' dock.
"The Egyptian people should be merciful to a man of Mubarak's age, whose humiliation is of no benefit," he said.
As great as Mubarak's mistakes might have been, the Egyptian people must transcend this stage and think of the future, Amer said.

I would like to salute you, as you have said what I cannot say; the revolution has destroyed Egypt at the hands of foreigners and through a conspiracy, not only against President Mubarak, but against Egypt as a whole. Now, the person who is responsible for trains is asking for help from the Security Council to help him rule Egypt?! Egypt, for which it was hard for them for 30 years to put a single soldier in it. Now, Egypt is asking them all to enter it. The matter seems like chaos; we regret your days, our president. Note to those who go to the Destruction Square: I am not a member of the mean party.

God is great; righteousness is victorious and falsehood is always defeated. God Almighty has showed the innocence of Hosni from seven heavens above, through the testimony of Marshal General Tantawi, and we ask God to protect the leader and the Yemeni president from all harm. By God, we are with him in heart and soul until the last drop of our blood. May the eyes of the cowards never sleep.

So, these were all lies and the president is innocent and did not order anyone to be killed. Egyptians only want some drums to dance to. The foreign interference and the incitement are obvious. They ousted the president, and then what did they do? To this day, there is no security or stability. And they say it needs time; after how many years? You will not be able to accomplish anything.

Why don’t we wait for the verdict of the court??? When his innocence is proven, can anyone stop Gamal Mubarak from running for the presidency??? The challenge here will be the results of the elections, which will make Gamal the president of Egypt in this election or the next, under the supervision of all the free commissions on the planet, along with all the judicial figures in the world. Egypt and its people are not this segment that we see; Egypt and its people are much bigger than this chaos they called a revolution. Take a look at the world around you through the stock market, or sit down with a sincere economist to know the value of Mubarak. The question here is: are you going to win anything? No, you did injustice to Mubarak and his family, and you were as ungrateful as possible to Mubarak’s merits over them. Let him leave his affairs to God.

Seriously, it is such a loss to see the leaders of Egypt and the champions of the National Democratic Party who developed Egypt and made it a respectable country on trial because of beggars and thugs who wouldn’t leave Tahrir Square.

What about our gas that departed our land for our enemy, and the ferries full of people who drown? The ferry sank in the middle of the sea and our people were gone. The perpetrator escaped us. And boats full of the most beautiful youth come from Italy to drown. Sharks eat our flesh; they were just like us or even better, and they had houses, children, lives and dreams just like our dreams. They were expatriated and were humiliated when corruption started to affect everything in our land. Those who didn’t die are there in their expatriation, and the foreigners humiliate us. Should I go on, or is that enough?? You know about us; be patient and you will hear our verdict, Mr. President. Come back to us.

Suzan Mubarak protects the corruption she spread and her network of soldiers, police, and the emergency laws. This led to the breaking out of the revolution of the 25th of January, 2011. So, the recipients of the secret red certificate sought shelter with the emergency law and this will lead to the breaking out of another revolution, especially since the demands of the 25th of January revolution weren’t achieved and the military council is stalling in putting together a new constitution that comes from the people. They made the emergency law the holocaust of the people if they wanted to protest the corruption of the military council and its policies that try to return to the rule of the individual; military rule serves the class that used it to climb and to come to power in Egypt through the stars that try to contain the people.

I would like to tell all the heroes and supporters of the revolution and those who hate dictatorship not to care about the speech of foolish people, who are numerous. In fact, we, the Iraqis, did not care about the foolish, who described Saddam Hussein as a martyr, a lion and a hero. What is important is that his trial was carried out, thank God, and he got his just deserts. The entire globe has witnessed his execution, and all criminals will be tried for their acts, even if this takes more time. In fact, God will never relinquish punishment. Peace.

He is innocent and God willing, he will be out of jail because he simply didn’t incite the killing, and the Ministry of Defense didn’t kill on purpose, and if the officers had been given permission to do so, the whole square would have been set on fire. I would like to inform the Egyptians that if bullets are shot in the air, people will run in all directions like chickens. So why do we believe such a lie? In general, justice will be brought soon, thanks to the evidence, and those who are not satisfied with the verdict should prepare themselves. He is innocent, God willing.

“I will only steal to share with the powerful or if the powerful jails me; i.e. you are all responsible for your people.” Those are the words of the Prophet, peace be upon him, and not mine. “If a beast is stalled in Iraq, I will be asked why I did not pave the way for it.” Those too are not my words, but the words of the Caliph Umar, may God bless him. This means that the fact that Mubarak let those who stole steal and did not punish them is wrong. Isn’t it also wrong that the government is bad and that it is dragging us to destruction every day??? Isn’t it wrong that the rich become richer and the poor become poorer and are humiliated for the sake of a living??? The memory people who died because they said “enough” should be respected.

First, thank God; second, I want to call on the just court in Egypt to not show mercy or compassion towards the criminal Mubarak or the symbols of the corrupt regime with him. God is greater than any of them, and is bigger than Mubarak in particular, because he betrayed Egypt. He betrayed the country and its people and broke his oath and manipulated the fate of the country the way he liked. He manipulated the fates of the people and he committed oppression and prejudice and showed as much arrogance as he wanted. Today, we see him behind bars in a scene that makes the eye tear up; not out of sadness for this big dog, but because we see that righteousness is never defeated and that falsehood and oppression have to end one day, no matter how long they go on. They were tears of happiness when I saw him sitting in the cage. Only then did I believe that people’s dreams and desire really did come true with the start of the trial of the great pharaoh, Mubarak, and those with him. We have seen the great flow of accusations that were directed against him by the Egyptians who were victims of Mubarak’s criminality, especially the families of the Tahrir Square victims; those heroes who were martyred for this historic moment.

I believe that this trial has been one of the main demands of the people after the regime of the Egyptian pharaoh, Hosni Mubarak, was overthrown, and that this is one of their legitimate rights because this person harmed many Egyptians and stole the wealth and money of the country along with those with him. He attacked civilians and his direct orders led to killing many civilian demonstrators in Tahrir Square in Cairo. Consequently, he deserved to be given up for trial so that he realizes the crimes he committed against the innocent people. I believe that this trial is the first of its kind because it’s the first trial of an arrogant president like Mubarak who ruled the country for many years during which he practiced all forms of prejudice, persecution, torture and starvation against the people. As such, he was overthrown and sent to court by the people without any interference from the neighboring countries or the European or foreign countries. Therefore, I believe that this is the first trial of its kind for an Arab tyrant president like Mubarak. It is Allah’s will first, and the tears of poor and oppressed people second and the prayers of the mothers and the mothers of victims and martyrs third. That is why we came to see this criminal, his sons and all those with him who used to be the officials of the state and who have been accused of manipulating the fate of the Egyptian Arab people behind bars facing the charges the people accused them with. They will not succeed in escaping these charges because they are clear charges and all Egyptians are witnesses to the practices that had been committed by the former regime. In any case, I admit that this trial is a great victory for the will of the people and for not having foreign interference in the country’s internal affairs to rid the people from the control of Mubarak. It is also a form of loyalty to the blood of all honorable Egyptians from among the revolutionaries and the victims of this regime in the police prisons who died from torture.

After what was done by the ousted Egyptian president Mohamed Hosni Mubarak in terms of brutal acts during the years of his rule, and the oppressive policies which were practiced on a lot of Egyptian people, I believe that this is a criminal man who abused his people and country. So, I feel that this man should be brought to trial to get his punishment which he deserves for the criminal acts he performed. These affected all the sectors in Egypt, and led to the state in which the Egyptian citizen lives nowadays, that state of poverty and starvation. The criminals should be brought before the courts to be questioned about all the crimes and acts they carried out. So, I am in favor of the start of the trial of Hosni Mubarak, and we welcome the start of the trial, which showed us one of the Arab dictators in the dock. We were longing for this, in order to know the sentence of the Egyptian Judiciary against this man, who had never expected to be captured by the people at any time, and never expected that his throne and his dictatorial regime, which abused the Egyptian people, would be demolished. Today, when we see Hosni Mubarak in the dock, it is a promising thing. It is considered to be a victory for democratic life in Egypt, which the Egyptians are looking for after years of oppression, unfairness and torture. The life of unfairness is short, and that’s what I see with Hosni Mubarak, when the Egyptian people and its marvelous revolution and its heroic youth decided to put an end to the days of starvation which were caused by this brutal ruler. We are pleased today to see him on the dock and being tried by the Egyptian people for all his acts, which abused the Egyptian people and this great country. We agree with the start of the trial of Mubarak, and we want him to get the fair punishment he deserves, especially for the crimes which were executed against the innocent demonstrators who were killed in Al-Tahrir Square in Egypt and all the Egyptian governorates. The joy of the Egyptian people will be successfully fulfilled by its blessed revolution only after the trial of the brutal one who caused a lot of torture and oppression during the years of his dictatorial rule.

The Egyptian political parties welcome the start of Mubarak’s trial, because these parties witnessed much damage and harm at the hands of Hosni Mubarak’s government, whose regime was considered a dictatorial, backward regime that treated everyone violently, as many people suffered from torture and much defaulting and negligence and they faced challenges and difficulties in addition to the severest forms of oppression and cruelty. Also, people were deprived of all their legitimate rights. This is added to the suffering of Egyptians and of Egyptian political parties that opposed the regime and government of Hosni Mubarak, which included poverty, hunger, oppression, corruption and unemployment. Therefore, these parties are the first supporters of the start of Hosni Mubarak’s trial and of bringing him before justice, as a result of all that he has done, to hold him accountable for all the things that were done to Egyptians during his reign. This reign has passed, so that he gets his fair punishment, which is the punishment of all those who oppress and persecute people and steal their money and resources. People were deprived of this wealth throughout the past thirty years. So, it is very necessary to bring Hosni Mubarak to justice to satisfy Egyptians, especially those who were oppressed, so that they will be avenged and so that he would get his fair punishment at the hands of the Egyptian court that will put the former president of Egypt, Hosni Mubarak, on trial.

I do not agree with all those Egyptian political parties who have welcomed the trial of former President Hosni Mubarak, because whatever happened, he was a man from Egypt and his identity is Egyptian. He is now taking his punishment, but it is a shame to rejoice over his misfortune because at one time he was the Egyptian president. I want to say something: Hosni Mubarak has no relation with what is happening in Egypt and the great and big mistake was made by the party ruling with him, God knows. But the word of truth should be said, and as Egyptians they should not rejoice over a sick man who is on trial, when at one time he served them and offered them help. I swear by God that it is shameful to make fun of him; we should have respect for his old age and because he is Egyptian. The political parties are pleased now with the trial of Hosni Mubarak, and we will wait to see what they will do in Egypt, because as they say, one day is for you and another day is against you. But there should be one day against them, as God only shows the truth, even after thousands of years. Those political parties only want to show themselves and to be the first and the last in the region, but if they are right, they will restore everything that has been destroyed in Egypt, and I call upon them not to raise the debate again. This person whom you talked about was a shield for you at one time, and he invited the heroes in the battle to defend you; and as for the person who is ungrateful, God only knows what is said about him. Therefore, I call upon you to stop this nonsense and the deceitful publicity. The trial of the president is a trial like any other trial, and God shows the truth, but you should not transgress on the earth, and make the truth your first and last word.

All the Arab governments should take heed of this advice, and they should improve the living conditions of their people and provide them with a respectable living standard, instead of ruling them with an iron fist, so that they would not meet the same fate as that of the Egyptian government, which led to its collapse. Tyranny and authoritarianism could result in catastrophes in the other Arab countries if their rulers adopt the same authoritarian measures as the regime of Hosni Mubarak used, especially since the Arab populations have become more aware and mature than before. So, it is crucial that these Arab regimes benefit from these events and strive to avert them by providing services and implementing reforms for their citizens. Otherwise, their fate will be the same as has happened to the Egyptian president, who is today behind bars and bed-ridden as a result of a stroke he had while he was in the defendants’ box in the court room. He has been charged on many counts that are unbecoming of a president of any country, namely the killing of demonstrators during the popular revolution that took place on January 25th of this year. The security agencies of Hosni Mubarak’s regime fired shots indiscriminately at the protestors, resulting in the death and injury of hundreds of people. Furthermore, he has been charged with unlawful acquisition of wealth and the depletion of public funds. This trial is unprecedented in history, as the Egyptians have dubbed it the trial of the century. The Egyptian president could have absorbed the public anger by coming up with solutions that would have satisfied the people, including stepping down from power, so that he could become a former president instead of a deposed one.

All of the Arab leaders should learn their lessons and take heed from the tragic situation that the former Egyptian president ended up in, as a result of his clinging on to power and using an authoritarian and dictatorial rule against the people, which increased people’s hatred for that tyrannical and despotic regime. The latter was the main cause behind the Egyptian people’s suffering even more after he took the reins of power in the year 1981, up until the collapse of the regime. During this period, he engaged in all sorts of tyranny, repression, fraud, restricting freedoms, stifling voices and throwing dissidents in jail.

Six months ago, Egypt witnessed unparalleled events that were considered a turning point in modern Egyptian and Arab history, when Egyptians revolted against the ousted president, Hosni Mubarak, due to the crimes he committed against the Egyptian people. They were and still are suffering from repression, persecution, the restriction of freedoms, poverty, unemployment and other disasters which most Arab peoples suffer from. Most of the region’s countries are supposedly characterized by democratic regimes; however, they are dictatorial regimes in reality, and only care for furthering their personal interests at the expense of the safe, unsuspecting people who elected them to manage the affairs of governance. The leaders who don’t respond to the needs of their people have the inevitable fate of going on trial so that justice takes its course. The leaders who take their peoples lightly, and stand in their face and in the face of their freedom and their demands, will not receive mercy from history or people, because they showed no mercy to others when they were in power. Therefore, I am with the political parties that welcome and support the beginning of the trial of the ousted president, Hosni Mubarak, because he has to pay for the lives of Egyptians that were wasted when he was the leader of the people. He incited some people who sold their consciences and cooperated with tyrants against their innocent people, because of the protestors who came out to the Egyptian streets and squares from north to south and only called for improving services and livelihoods, because Mubarak didn’t respond to people’s demands. He has to stand before the court. Egyptians have dubbed the trial of the ousted president the “trial of the century,” because it really is one of the events history will commemorate and tell to the coming generations within the context of the people’s struggle against the corrupt governments that ruined their peoples and exterminated them because they demanded their rights. Egyptians have watched the events of the trials on televisions or by going to court. However, in spite of all the crimes committed against Egyptians on the orders and at the behest of the ousted president, Hosni Mubarak, to the people working under his command to oppress the protestors and to disperse them in order to foil and end the revolution, Egyptians are currently divided between supporting and opposing the trial, due to the deteriorated health condition that the ousted president, Hosni Mubarak, is suffering from.

As an Egyptian and Arab citizen, I think that we should bring Hosni Mubarak to trial in Egypt for him to get his due punishment, because he has failed a lot at the expense of Egyptians. The latter have been patient although they have been harmed and denied their human rights. Egyptians have also suffered from abuse of power to achieve personal interests. In fact, Mubarak has ignored all the rights of the sons of Egypt and made them live in deplorable conditions, namely poverty, corruption, widespread unemployment and injustice, under a dictatorial, backward and corrupt regime. Therefore, it is necessary to bring Hosni Mubarak to the Egyptian judiciary so that he will get his just deserts, because he has failed a lot in performing his duties towards Egyptians. Besides, he has robbed public money and ignored his duties. Thus, it is high time that he be punished for his acts throughout his thirty years in office in Egypt, because he is an unjust person who ignored the rights of Egyptians. He has also caused them to live in a state of destitution, poverty, hunger, corruption and unemployment which has spread everywhere in Egypt, leaving people in a deplorable situation.

Seeing Mohammed Hosni Mubarak before the Egyptian Judiciary is a testimony to the victory of the right over the wrong, the triumph of the proud nations over their tyrants, no matter how long it takes. It also shows the victory of freedom and the democratic ambitions which the Arab community in general has begun to dream of. In fact, the trial of Mubarak, at this time in particular, is a desperate necessity, so that all the regimes and leaders who glorify dictatorship will know that their inevitable fate is similar to that of Hosni Mubarak. As far as I am concerned, the trial of ousted President Hosni Mubarak is very fair, in spite of his criminality and his acts. Indeed, he is enjoying the deserved attention and medical care for the acts he carried out throughout his rule over Egypt and Egyptians. This period can only be described as the tough years, since Egyptians have suffered a lot of tragedies and pains which led to the eruption of their blessed revolution. This revolution affected and overthrew this unjust regime together with its officials, who have been brought to the Judiciary, led by Hosni Mubarak, whose trial we support, in order to get their just deserts.

All the tyrants of the world throughout the centuries have received their just punishment for the crimes they committed against their peoples, and they were a lesson for others. With dictators, no matter how long they stay in power, there has to come a day when they suffer the just punishment issued against them by their own peoples. That is exactly what is happening to the dictator of Egypt, Mohammad Hosni Mubarak, who is facing the same fate today that was suffered by the mighty tyrants who oppressed their peoples for many years for the sake of holding on to power. Therefore, I think that the trial that Hosni Mubarak is facing is a natural thing that was supposed to happen. What were we expecting? To offer flowers to the person who killed the sons of Egypt in Tahrir Square and claimed innocent lives over the decades of his rule? He caused great harm to many Egyptian people and he must get his due punishment.

God is righteous and He loves righteousness. Hosni Mubarak is now receiving punishment for what he did. In my opinion, this trial has to be fair so that Egyptians will live in peace and security. I am one of those who opposed Mubarak’s reign in Egypt. Hosni and his supporters exploited opportunities to commit sabotaging acts in Egypt with the money they stole from the people. Egyptians are a heroic people but they are poor; not in money, but in social status. This means they are way too kind, and that Hosni Mubarak and his cowardly supporters exploited the kindness of the Egyptians during the previous years. I don’t want to say that God has granted victory to righteousness and that righteousness becomes victorious, even if it is after hundreds of years. One of God’s names is “the Righteous.” Glorious is God. Like they say; “If you sing before breakfast, you will cry before dinner.” The time has come for Hosni Mubarak to be held accountable for what he did to the Egyptian people. In spite of his old age, he deserves to be imprisoned and tortured, because he tortured many innocent people who were not guilty of anything. God is the Knowledgeable One. Hosni Mubarak is only receiving what he deserves and paying for his misdeeds. Egyptian people are way too emotional and sensitive. After everything he did to them, some people say he doesn’t deserve to be put on trial, because he’s an old, sick man. Yes, we agree with you, but what did the innocent people who were murdered during the revolution in Egypt do to deserve it? What were they guilty of and who is responsible for their good, pure blood? He pretends to be sick and to need to be admitted to the hospital. All this is prearranged; so, don’t let your hearts take you any further than that. Who could imagine that he committed all these acts of cruelty during the past years? We then want the Egyptian government to be fair. The many delays and appeals are useless.

The one who violates the law out of ignorance is not pardoned, and whoever violates the law knowingly must receive a more severe penalty. Likewise, the penalty of the one who knows the law or has power and then violates the law must be the most severe. If one is assigned with taking care of an individual and does not care for him properly, we consider that he is breaching the trust. So, what about the one who breaches the trust of more than 80 million people? Did he respect his own age, that he should be respected for this consideration?

The former Egyptian president’s trial has started, which is natural and inevitable, because he deserves to be punished for all the acts he committed against the Egyptians, who remained oppressed for the last thirty years. During those years, Egyptians witnessed nothing but poverty, hunger, unemployment and social and moral corruption, in addition to working according to personal interests and using oppression against Egyptians. All this is added to the backward dictatorial regime that only thought of itself, without regard being given to the needs and requirements of Egyptians.

The start of the trial of Hosni Mubarak – the ousted president – has been anticipated by everyone, especially the Egyptians who insisted on forcing him out of his position because he neglected the Egyptians’ rights. Egyptians were oppressed to the extent that they came out to the streets to demand that president Hosni Mubarak step down, in addition to making other demands.

The trial of ousted Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is going down in the history of the Arab region and particularly in Egypt, since this court has accused the former president of squandering public money during his period in office, in addition to ordering the security forces to shoot protesters in Tahrir Square in Cairo and the other Egyptian provinces. The latter witnessed the murder of a large number of victims among the youth demonstrators during the Egyptian revolution that occurred to demand reforms and change for the sake of a better life in the country. In fact, the demonstrations were peaceful and civilized, and this reflects the democratic work advocated by the Egyptian government. Besides, these demonstrations were not organized by the parties or other particular entities, but the Egyptian mob went out spontaneously, as a result of the suffering which was experienced by Egyptians because of unemployment, poor services, the spread of diseases, poverty and famine among the people, who had become unable to bear this suffering anymore. Indeed, it would have been wise if the ruler had worked immediately on looking after this nation through examining the legitimate demands of people, fulfilling them as soon as possible, protecting their rights and spreading security, justice and wealth in the country, in order to create a favorable ground for development and progress, instead of issuing orders to shoot protesters. This led to the death of a considerable number of protesters and rendered the situation more and more complex regarding the tyranny and the arrogance of the ruler who had become a dictator and did not yield to the voice of reason. He had also taken measures to enslave the nation and subdue it according to his desires and plans. Also, he worked on humiliating the people, oppressing their ideas together with their freedoms, and making them follow his will and ideology, regardless of their suffering. In fact, a group of oppressors had been assisting him in carrying out all these acts.

The trial of former President Hosni Mubarak has been shameful, because it has been delayed many times. This is in addition to the fighting that has been going on outside the court between the supporters and the opponents of Mubarak. Thus, it is important to find a solution to the problem of external fighting outside the court. I think that it is important to hold accountable all those who have neglected their duties. This is in order to know that the former Egyptian president has gotten his due punishment. This trial has been a kind of show. That’s why I don’t want to watch it. In fact, I want to see a solution for these poor victims who were waiting outside the court. Hosni Mubarak must get his due punishment, no more and no less. May God help all the Arab countries, and especially our dear heroic Egypt, which has challenged all the circumstances.

Now, you speak up and proclaim your objections. Every one of us must judge himself before thinking about judging the others. Where have these slogans been over the past 30 years?

All Egyptian political parties and all Egyptian citizens started to feel happy when they saw the tyrant, his sons and all their followers in the former regime imprisoned in order to be sentenced in the name of the people for all the crimes they have committed. Political parties consider it a historic moment, since the parties and their members who used to oppose the regime, the national party and its policies have suffered more than anyone else from arrests, torture and prison for many years. In fact, state services have tracked down these party followers and their families. In fact, they were used to suffering a lot because of such behaviors, and political parties have lost a lot of their members since the regime has claimed their lives. As far as I am concerned, Hosni Mubarak deserves his current status, especially since he resisted the sons of his country, the innocent youth, who were simply asking for freedom and democracy. In fact, they wanted to enjoy a better life and get their rights. Thus, they went out on these peaceful demonstrations to ask for reforms. However, the policy of terror, murder, arrest, the aggression of the unarmed innocent protesters and the murder of many of them in all Iraqi provinces, particularly in Tahrir Square, caused the popular demands of the protesters to increase day after day. This was also helped by the determination, courage and strength of the sons of Egypt and the patriotic youth, who proved their love and sacrifice for Egypt. Thus, Mubarak and his followers deserve to be brought to justice in order to get their just deserts and so that we can take revenge on them as a sign of faithfulness for the martyrs and victims of this regime. In fact, everyone approves of this process, as I have mentioned earlier. Political parties in particular approve of it, because they are currently leading the political process in the country, and they are fulfilling their promises and commitments towards the families of the victims.

In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the ever Merciful.

With all due respect for the different opinions, I do not understand this argument and discussion regarding an axiom. Justice is the foundation of kingship and Mubarak was certainly unjust. On the other hand, we cannot consider the people unjust, because God the Exalted can never wrong His slaves, and if he had been unjust, he would have never been in this situation, ever. This is divine justice, and I do not understand why you object to the divine law. Do not procrastinate in something that is predetermined by God. You are nothing in the face of the rule of heaven.

There is a fine line between a person who looks for justice and another one who is very angry and seizes the opportunity to vent his anger. I am in favor of fair verdicts, and not simply ones that we want to hear. If he is proven guilty, he will be sentenced to death. For God, he is no better than the others who died, and if he is innocent, then he should be released, because God hates oppressive nations. I want to clarify some political information: it is not legal to refer to the previous president as “the overthrown president,” because he voluntarily stepped down, even under pressure called the overthrowing process. It means taking over power and depriving the ruler of power, not legitimacy, because it remains until another ruler is chosen.

Where is the news of Egypt? Egypt is more important than prosecuting a whole nation, not a single person. Why do we busy ourselves with the affairs of the court? The most important thing is the wheel of the economy, because we do not want to stop again in the middle of the road. Suppose that we took the president from the hospital and lynched him immediately, as the people want; what will the next thing be that the Egyptian people would need? It is work and more work. Exports must not stop, the airplanes must go like the wind, the farmers must work hard to harvest, the engineer should construct buildings, the doctor should treat the incurable diseases, the professor should spread knowledge in the universities, the merchants should buy and sell, and the employees should work hard in their offices, to serve the people quickly and honestly. Every one of us must work in his position, because if we allow the issue of the trial of the former president to preoccupy us, Egypt will not move forward, even for one step.

The world testifies to the integrity of the Egyptian judiciary, and this is not strange. We ask God to grant victory to Egypt in order to get rid of the thieves and the hypocrites.

This is life with its lessons, disagreements, love and hatred. I read all the comments and I saw the life incarnate. Certainly, some people loved Hosni Mubarak and were happy with his leadership and way of leading the country and its rule, which lasted for more than thirty years. On the other hand, some people hated him and hated the neglect in dealing with the crimes of his retinue that spoiled the life of its people. I will not blame those who loved him, because his sons loved him and refused to escape, despite their opportunity to do so. They refused to abandon him. I also do not blame those who hated him and who believe that prosecuting him like any other suspect is the dream of their life, due to the fact that he oppressed them. I do not blame those who sympathized with him or those who rejoiced at his misfortunes. Any blessing or curses are meant to make us think and consider the Quranic verse in which God the Exalted says: “Those who do wrong will come to know by what a great reversal they will be overturned!” -Quran 26:227 We just want to denounce the wronging of those whom we hate, because retribution was legislated to restore the rights. However, God urged us to pardon the perpetrators and leave them to the divine prosecution. Of course, this is not a sign of weakness, because pardoning those who have wronged us is the epitome of faith, and leaving the punishment to God is the height of humility. According to my experience, when I forgave those who wronged me, God took revenge upon those who oppressed me. So, leave everything to God and allow the judiciary to achieve justice and try Mubarak, his assistants and children, not to treat them unjustly and then regret it, because in such a case, there would be no difference between them and us. Everything returns to God.

O pharaoh, were you so ignorant about the power of your lord? Today, we will not weep over you, while you are lying in humiliation on the alleged deathbed. You came to the court while trying to win the sympathy of the oppressed people after killing its youth, elders, artists, scholars, and free thinkers. You killed the innocence of the childhood through the corrupt education, and the honor of the heads of families through high prices, etc. Hence, do not cry today, because you will go to the dunghill of history along with all those who thought that they were super pharaohs and that they could fight God himself.

Would you please make a revolution in order to waive our rights and pardon this old man? We demand that he restore his money to the people without any insults. However, we demand the prosecution of Gamal and Alaa for their corruption and for looting the public money. They monopolized the investments in the country over the past years.

After all, this man has been the president of our country and it is unfair to do this to him. The Prophet, peace be upon him, prohibited revolting against the rulers even if they were disbelievers.

Please, use your minds and tell me how we could pardon this man while the law of Allah does not exempt even the daughter of the Prophet, peace be upon him, who said that if she stole, he would amputate her hand. Do you want to say that Mubarak is better than Fatimah, the daughter of the Prophet, peace be upon him? This is divine justice on earth and we must take revenge upon the oppressors not to rejoice at them but to allow people to learn this important lesson. This does not apply to Mubarak only, but it applies to all those who might think about oppressing the people and enslaving them. In addition, prosecuting him on earth is much less than the heavenly punishment and it will alleviate his torment in the hereafter. Do you not think this is a form of mercy?

The great and honorable people of Egypt should wake up and consider the conditions of Iraq after Saddam, after the Americans and the Zionists kept inciting the Iraqis to prosecute and execute him. Iraq turned into a mess. The West is conspiring against Egypt and driving it to the same fate, after the groups of the Egyptian society declared their enmity to Israel. The Prophet, peace be upon him, concluded agreements with the Jews and he used to deal with them in accordance with the interests of the Muslims and Islam. Of course, the Prophet, peace be upon him, is our role model. If the people of Egypt did not respect their symbol, we can easily expect that no one would do so. Do we expect the Americans, the Israelis or even the Arab states to respect us? All these parties want to destroy Egypt. Do not misunderstand me; I do not defend Hosni Mubarak as a person, because I hate him personally and I seek God’s help against him for his crimes against his people that God the Almighty put him in charge of, as to its affairs, health, food and education. We seek God’s help against Hosni and his ilk, but after all, this man is a symbol of this country and we must foil the plan of the Zionists, Americans, and the West, so they do not destroy us. We have to protect our country and its symbol from humiliation. It is improper to place our symbol in a cage. Why don’t we put Mubarak under house arrest and then try the others in a military court?

Nevertheless, we will be a prey for the West and Israel, our Zionist enemy. We seek God’s help against them. We should pay more attention to our countries and ourselves. We should not leave any chance to anyone to rejoice over our misfortunes. Egypt is a blessed land and we must realize this fact very well and protect it, as its soldiers are the best on earth and they will remain on alert until the Day of Judgment. It is a blessed month and days now, and who amongst us doesn't make mistakes. However, our Lord is forgiving and He pardons all Muslims and us.

Your rulers are exactly like you. If the Egyptians insist on humiliating their former president, then he was right when he tried and humiliated every Egyptian citizen. There is no justification for the conditions of Egypt and the Egyptians during the rule of Mubarak, Sadat, or Gamal. All the former and future presidents will treat the Egyptian people in the same way, because this is the wish of the Egyptians. Personally, let me be frank when I tell you that the Egyptians will follow whoever assumes power in Egypt.

Finally, I know all crimes of Mubarak over the past 30 years, and we won in the war with the help of God, because victory is a grant from Him alone.

Mr. Hosni Mubarak with whom some people sympathize has destroyed our houses. I am 36 years old, but I am still jobless, despite the fact that I have a good head on my shoulders, I am not a thief. He decoyed us and killed our families. My mother died of pancreatic cancer due to the agricultural carcinogens. Likewise, my father died due to the geriatric diseases. It is sufficient to see your most loved ones dying in front of your eyes while you cannot pay to provide them with the proper medical care to relieve the pain. O people, you must sympathize first with the hungry and poor people who died while they do not have enough money to be buried let alone leaving anything to their children. Do you think that we have been ruled by a Muslim or a Jew? Oppression was limitless. However, we seek refuge with God against rejoicing at the misfortunes of the others.

We seem to feel that the previous president of the republic was the only cause behind ruining everything in our beloved Egypt. But in my opinion, we all participated in spoiling everything in Egypt when we remained silent for more than 15, not 30 years, because some of us were cowards who could not confront the regime and the hypocrites as well as the opportunists. Hence, we should first blame ourselves and correct our conditions to find out the cause that made his wife and son interfere in this flagrant way in running the affairs of the country. This is natural and if any one of us had been in the place of the former president, he would have given his family the full freedom to do anything. On the level of the ordinary people, the son of the doctor becomes a doctor and the son of the doorman has no right to anything. We used to see injustice before our eyes day and night without taking any action. Therefore, we must blame ourselves first and start correcting our positions. This is a fact that will not appeal to many of those who read this comment. If everyone of us sat down with himself and thought honestly, he would find out that we played the main role in destroying our beloved Egypt, not the former president. I do not say so because I respect him, but I say so for the sake of our beloved Egypt, which deserves to have us sacrifice our souls for it, like those who preceded us to allow us to live in peace.

Canceling the trial of this liar and killer does not please God, and the issue of putting him in jail has nothing to do with his old age. This traitor has committed many crimes against the Egyptian people mercilessly, including the women, children and elders. As for those who call for pardoning him, this can be applicable when settling an individual dispute, not a dispute between the people and a president. He not only ordered the murder of the demonstrators, but he also allowed carcinogens to enter the country, and he polluted the water of the Nile river after selling most of it to build towers for the Arab leaders and princes. How could we pardon this accursed criminal and swindler? He must be prosecuted like any criminal or even like the innocents whom he prosecuted and humiliated during his rule. If God wants to have mercy upon him, then he would take his life. However, out of the wisdom and justice of God, he granted him life to be punished for all of his crimes against the Egyptian people.

Hence, you should blame none but yourself and you may be sure that your reckoning before God will be very tough, because you are responsible for your subjects. Imagine that you will be judged for more than 80 million people or more. When this happens, you would wish that the human prosecution never ended.

The worst people on the Day of Judgment are the hypocrites and two-faced people, who speak in defense of their personal interests, irrespective of the public interests. We must be decent when commenting, and this chaos must stop. Everyone should busy himself in something useful. Do you think that the performance of the lawyers during Mubarak’s trial is professional? The judge kept silencing them as if they were children. Every one of them wanted to speak before the other in an uncivilized manner.

Democracy and justice means prosecuting those who have committed crimes against the people. This is a message to all future presidents of Egypt over time. Egyptian history will record that the will of the people and its voice is stronger than the ruler himself. This is necessary in order to achieve freedom and justice. So, how can we ask mercy for him when he himself did not show mercy to anyone before?

In the name of God, the Most Merciful the ever Merciful. God the Exalted says: “Then, when they forgot that whereof they had been reminded, We opened unto them the gates of all things, till, even as they were rejoicing in that which they were given, We seized them unawares, and lo! they were dumbfounded.” -Quran 6:44. God has said the truth. This is a divine warning to all tyrants who have forgotten that God is stronger and more powerful than they are.

I do not understand the cause of all of these objections, just for putting President Mubarak in the cage during the trial. Now he is just a very ordinary person, like any criminal or thief who is being prosecuted. Honestly, this is a message to the Arab leaders to be careful, because the people will not have mercy upon you if they succeed in toppling you. Anyway, bin Ali was smarter than Mubarak, and he escaped early. This is a bit of advice to the Arab leaders to escape from their countries early, to avoid the fate of Mubarak.

O God! Keep us from rejoicing at the misfortunes of others. I see that most people demand retribution in the trial of the former president Mubarak. Despite his crimes that affected the interests of the country and the citizens, I feel pity for him, due to his old age and now health problems. Even if he received the harshest penalty, I believe that he would not be punished and there would be a popular referendum to pardon him.

No one in Egypt can prosecute the deposed president, because he was an American and Israeli agent. The National Security Agency is the agency of the security of the state. This security agency is found in most of the Arab states under different names and its mission is to protect the regime as long as it is loyal to the USA. I wish that Egypt had a wise man who could manage to dismantle this agency, which is not controlled by anyone. Manar Othman’s opinion is right, and I advise those who object to the prosecution of the deposed president Mubarak to stop relying on women’s emotions.

With all due respect, I am proud to say yes to the popular Egyptian revolution and no to the trial of Mubarak. Indeed, he wronged his people, but we must remember that he participated in the October War and that he is responsible for the peace in Egypt and the Arab world. We have to treat him mercifully, due to his old age and weakness. We have to protect him from humiliation, and we must remember that he was the head of the biggest Arab state. All people must be punished for their corruption. O God! Protect Egypt always from disturbances.

This is prohibited for the great people of Egypt. Mubarak is not a bad man, because if he had been so, he would have escaped from Egypt like the others. He served Egypt throughout his life in the field of flying during the 1970’s. You will not have a president who is better than he was.

The Egyptian people are emotional and we do not rejoice at the misfortunes of the others. However, he did not even look to us throughout his thirty years in power when Egypt was in his grip. He embittered our lives and now he is hiding behind the pretext of illness, waiting for our sympathy. However, he used to eat with gold spoons without looking to the poor or the sick or reforms. The deterioration of the conditions of the people and the country was so severe to the extent that I felt ashamed of being Egyptian. I see that this as a divine punishment, because he had many chances to live and let us live in luxury. Egypt was not indebted or poor, but the thieves who ruled it made it poor. However, the day came when we saw them behind bars. O God! We seek refuge with you from rejoicing at the misfortunes of others.

Let history record our people, who have been suffering from the loss of their wealth, selling their lands, as well as privatizing them, to the extent that we were practically working as servants of the foreigners in our own country. This is enough, because we have lost a precious part of Palestine. I wish that all Arab rulers would wake up and save Palestine and our lands from loss to the hands of the foreigners. We want our country nationalized, rather than privatized. We want to restore the system of the agricultural cycle and land reclamation. I also wish to see the closed factories open. These factories were built back in the time of Abdul Nasser and Sadat, when it was the time of the Egyptians.

Peace be upon you…. First, the revolution took the Egyptian people to freedom, dignity and justice, and this is a result of the sacrifices of the blood of the martyrs who sacrificed their souls for the sake of this country and this people. Second: all those who sympathized with the deposed president must ask themselves why they did not sympathize with the demonstrators who were shot and hit by cars or armored vehicles on his orders. That is because you do not have a martyr to weep over. Third, I want you to ask yourselves, what would Mubarak have done to the revolutionaries if the revolution had failed?

As a human, I do not deny that I felt some sympathy with Mubarak due to his health condition, but it is illogical to forgive the man who killed all those innocents without justification and without their being guilty of anything other than participating in demonstrations demanding freedom and the achievement of justice to people who had been deprived of their rights for thirty years. Despite all these trials, I believe that corruption will not end with the prosecution of Mubarak and his family or Al-Adli and his assistants, who are now in the grip of justice, because there are thousands like them, but they do not have anyone to judge them. Quite the contrary, they may have found some people who collaborate and cover for them. Personally, I know a corrupt man who has not been brought to justice yet.

As for those who say that we should not prosecute an old man, with all due respect, you have adopted their point of view and apart from rejoicing at the misfortunes of others and rights of the families of the martyrs, nothing would compensate the nail of a martyr in the eyes of his mother. Retribution is mentioned in the Quran and it does not involve anything improper, may God forbid. It is a method of making people learn, and so that the oppressors will see the end of their evil deeds. That is why God The Almighty created hell and Paradise, despite the fact that He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.

The trial of Mubarak and al-Adli and their standing up before the Egyptian judiciary inside the cage is the biggest evidence of the greatness of the Egyptian armed forces, which is the shield of Egypt internally and externally. It is also the biggest evidence of the integrity of the Egyptian judiciary and the greatness of the Egyptians, who built the greatest civilization known to humanity. The Egyptian people taught the Arab peoples and the peoples worldwide one of the greatest lessons about freedom, struggle and justice. I would like to remind the Egyptians who sympathized with Mubarak due to his old age that Mubarak and al-Adli did not have mercy for the young men and elders, and they sent them to prisons for more than 30 dark years, during which the people tasted the bitterness of hunger, poverty and oppression. Let the Egyptian judiciary have the final word, and if those killers are innocent, though I do not think so, God will show their innocence, as He is the Just Lord.
