I
would like to thank you for visiting my blog. and I hope that I made
this blog can help you in providing information and news you need. and below is the news coverage that I quoted from bbc.co.uk
Protests have continued
overnight in Cairo's Tahrir Square, after ex-President Hosni Mubarak was
jailed for life for his part in the killing of protesters during the
2011 revolution.
The crowds are furious at the acquittal of key security officials who were on trial alongside Mubarak.
Four interior ministry officials and two local security chiefs were cleared of complicity in protesters' killings.
Rallies against the verdict were also held in Alexandria, Suez and Mansoura.
Correspondents say a verdict that was meant to bring closure for Egypt is in danger of reopening old wounds.
In another development, dozens
of protesters stormed the campaign headquarters of presidential
candidate Ahmed Shafiq in the Fayoum area south of Cairo, Egyptian media
reported.
Mr Shafiq was Mubarak's last prime minister.
Verdict 'mocks us'
Some protesters at Tahrir Square, the focal point of last year's uprising, say they are determined to begin a sit-in.
They have been joined by
prominent public figures and football fans known as Ultras, who have
been implicated in a number of political confrontations.
The slogan from last year's
uprising: "Down with the military rule" is being chanted in the square
and many have vociferously condemned Saturday's verdict.
The BBC's Yolande Knell, at the
square, says there is particular anger at the acquittals of the
officials, which many take as a sign that there has been little reform.
"The Mubarak verdict mocks us.
He and [former Interior Minister Habib] Adly got a sentence and their
aides got nothing," protester Sharif Ali told the BBC. "When they return
to court on appeal, they will be freed too."
But, our correspondent adds, others have poured on to the streets out of depression at the current political situation.
The first round of recent
presidential elections has left Egyptians with a choice between an
Islamist candidate and an ex-prime minister from the Mubarak era.
Scuffles in court
The 84-year-old former president
is the first former leader to be tried in person since the start of the
Arab Spring in early 2011.
Announcing the verdicts, Judge
Ahmed Refaat said Mubarak and former Interior Minister Habib al-Adly had
failed to stop security forces using deadly force against unarmed
demonstrators. They were both given life terms.
The judge insisted that the 10-month trial had been fair.
He said the Mubarak era had been
"30 years of darkness" and praised what he called "the sons of the
nation who rose up peacefully for freedom and justice".
Mubarak and his two sons, Alaa
and Gamal, were acquitted on separate charges of corruption. But his
sons will remain in detention as they are to be charged with
stock-market manipulation.
After the verdict, scuffles
erupted in court. Outside, sentencing was initially greeted by
celebrations, but anger soon took over when news of the acquittals
spread.
State television reported that
as he was being transferred to jail, Mubarak at first refused to leave
the helicopter and then suffered from severe health problems. He has
reportedly been admitted to the prison hospital.
Mubarak, who ruled the country from 1981 to 2011, had faced a possible death sentence over the killing of about 850 protesters.
The first leader toppled during
the Arab Spring was Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali of Tunisia, who was found
guilty in absentia of drugs and gun charges in July.
Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi
was killed by rebels in October. Yemen's Ali Abdullah Saleh received
immunity from prosecution after handing over power in November.
