Further legal action would not be taken to try former president Hosni Mubarak for murder said Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi on Sunday.
The president added that, following recommendations of the court, he would ask a committee to review the procedural technicalities that had been cited to dismiss murder charges leveled against Mubarak on Saturday, reports the New York Times.
Expressing “full confidence in the fairness, integrity, impartiality and competence of Egypt’s judges,” Sisi said that Egypt must now “look to the future.”
Sisi’s remarks on the acquittal of Mubarak, come as protesters clashed with security forces in Cairo last week leaving at least 3 people dead.
