Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has been freed from detention, six years after being overthrown. Mr Mubarak left a military hospital in southern Cairo today and went to his home in the northern suburb of Heliopolis.
He was ordered freed earlier this month after Egypt’s top appeals court cleared him over the deaths of protesters in the 2011 uprising. Mr Mubarak, 88, became fourth President of Egypt in 1981.
