                   Former Egyptian President Appears in Court

   Former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak has appeared in a Cairo
   courtroom to once again face trial for complicity in the deaths of
   hundreds of protesters during the Arab Spring uprisings of 2011.
   Saturday`s proceeding is a retrial. Mubarak was given a life sentence
   for the charges last year, but was granted re-trial after appeals by
   both the prosecution and defense over procedural failings.
   Mubarak appeared in court Saturday in a wheelchair. He was accompanied
   by his two sons, who are accused separately on corruption charges.
   Security is heavy outside the courtroom, where the relatives of some of
   the victims have gathered.
   Mubarak`s retrial was scheduled to begin in April, but the judge at the
   time recused himself within minutes of the start of the proceedings.
