BEIJING, July 7 (Xinhuanet) -- The fourth session of the retrial of Egypt’s former president Hosni Mubarak began in Cairo on Saturday.

Mubarak’s two sons, his former interior minister and six aides are also on trial. Mubarak was forced from office in February 2011 following two weeks of mass street protests.

Following a lengthy trial, he was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison last year on charges that he was complicit in the killing of protesters. After appealing their convictions, they were granted a new trial early this year.
