Today, Egypt's high court decided that former president Hosni Mubarak- who was last month sentenced to three years in prison for embezzlement in a seperate case - must be retried in the case of the 2011 killing of protesters.

The judge accepted the public prosecution's appeal against an earlier court ruling that dropped the case against Mubarak.
