A court in Egypt ordered the release of former President Hosni Mubarak on Wednesday, a judicial and a security source is quoted as saying by Hürriyet Daily News.
Mubarak could be freed from prison on Thursday, his lawyer told Reuters, Hürriyet informs.
Hosni Mubarak is being retried on charges of ordering the killing of protesters during the 2011 uprising that led to the end of regime. However, he has already served out the maximum amount of pretrial detention permitted in that case.
