The historic trial of Egypt's fallen President Hosni Mubarak was today adjourned till the 5th of next month. Earlier, Mubarak was wheeled to the court on a stretcher to answer the charges of ordering the killing of over 800 anti-regime protesters as his followers and opponents scuffled in the streets outside. In another development, the court ruled that the proceedings will no longer be telecast live. Judge Ahmed Refaat also decided to merge Mubarak's trial with that of former Interior Minister Habib al-Adli. Mubarak, 83, faces death penalty if found guilty of ordering the killing. He is also facing corruption charges along with his sons Alaa and Gamal, both of whom were also present in the case.
