<<Print>>Egypt's ousted president Hosni Mubarak was freed today from a military hospital after spending six years in detention for his role in the deaths of protesters during the Arab Spring revolt in 2011.
Mubarak, 88, had been convicted of causing the deaths of 850 protesters, killed by his security forces in Cairo during the 18-day uprising which began in January 2011.
But his conviction was quashed by Egypt's highest court earlier this month and he was cleared to go home, but he was kept in the Maadi Military Hospital for observation.
His lawyer Farid El Deeb said today: 'Yes, he is now in his home in Heliopolis.'
