Editing Hosni Mubarak (section)

==Post-overthrow life==
Mubarak made no media appearances after his overthrow. Except for his family and a close circle of aides, he reportedly refused to talk to anyone{{mdash}}even his supporters. His health was speculated to be rapidly deteriorating; some reports said he was in a coma. Most sources said he was no longer interested in performing any duties and wanted to "die in Sharm El-Sheikh".<ref>[http://www.alarabiya.net/articles/2011/02/15/137787.html "Workers at Mubarak's palace plan 'Friday of Apology' Mubarak given up, wants to die in Sharm"] 15 February 2011, Al Arabiya News</ref><ref>[http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/2011/02/15/2011-02-15_exegyptian_president_hosni_mubarak_in_a_coma_reports_protests_flare_up_in_bahrai.html "Ex-Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak near death"] 15 February 2011, ''Daily News'' (New York)</ref>

===Trial===
{{details|Trials and judicial hearings following the Egyptian Revolution of 2011#Mubarak family}}
On 24 May 2011, Mubarak was ordered to stand trial on charges of premeditated murder of peaceful protesters during the revolution and, if convicted, could face the death penalty. The decision to try Mubarak was made days before a scheduled protest in Tahrir Square. The full list of charges released by the public prosecutor was "intentional murder, attempted killing of some demonstrators&nbsp;...&nbsp;misuse of influence, deliberately wasting public funds and unlawfully making private financial gains and profits".<ref name="reutersmurdercharges" />

On 28 May, a Cairo administrative court found Mubarak guilty of damaging the national economy during the protests by shutting down the Internet and telephone services. He was fined LE200&nbsp;million{{mdash}}about {{USD|33.6 million}}{{mdash}}which the court ordered he must pay from his personal assets. This was the first court ruling against Mubarak, who would next have to answer to the murder charges.<ref>{{Cite news |last1=Hennessy-Fiske |first1=Molly |url=http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-egypt-mubarak-fines-20110529,0,1157831.story |title=Mubarak, other former Egypt officials fined $91&nbsp;million for blocking cellphones, Internet |date=29 May 2011 |work=Los Angeles Times |access-date=29 May 2011 |last2=Hassan, Amro}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=http://213.158.162.45/~egyptian/index.php?action=news&id=18619&title=Mubarak%20fined%20for%20mobile,%20Internet%20cut |title=Mubarak fined for mobile, Internet cut |date=28 May 2011 |work=The Egyptian Gazette |access-date=29 May 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110720132720/http://213.158.162.45/~egyptian/index.php?action=news&id=18619&title=Mubarak%20fined%20for%20mobile,%20Internet%20cut |archive-date=20 July 2011 }}</ref>

The trial of Hosni Mubarak, his sons Ala'a and Gamal, former interior minister [[Habib el-Adly]] and six former top police officials began on 3 August 2011 at a temporary criminal court at the Police Academy in north Cairo. They were charged with corruption and the premeditated killing of peaceful protesters during the mass movement to oust the Mubarak government, the latter of which carries the death penalty.<ref>[http://english.aljazeera.net/news/middleeast/2011/06/201161131532286483.html Mubarak and sons to stand trial in August] Al Jazeera.
