Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was treated with a defibrillator twice by doctors after his heart stopped on Monday (June 11th), AFP reported.
Mubarak, 85, whose health has deteriorated since moving to prison on June 2nd, remains in intensive care in a prison hospital.
"His condition is not stable. He needs to be under observation 24 hours a day," Mubarak's lawyer Farid al-Deeb told Al-Masry Al-Youm.
Mubarak will be transferred to a military hospital in the next couple of days where he could be treated by foreign physicians, according to Ahram Online.

Despite the ripple by the winds of change in Egypt now, we cannot but be optimistic about the bright future because we all trust in God who will not forsake us he is merciful towards us from our fathers and our mothers and the storms that come now may have winds in some cases, but we do not forget about trust in God and work with all the effort, sincerity and honesty to ourselves before others to adapt what eluded and build what was destroyed and assess the cornerstones of a new state founded by the justice, equality and strength of the application of the law of God, without whom people grief, what is the interest in the State's overall progress and richness which is far from the law of God established by God for His slaves to an upright life and enjoy the living and be better than their present and past.
