CAIRO, June 10 (Xinhua) -- An Egyptian court adjourned Monday the retrial of former President Hosni Mubarak over responsibility for killing protesters to July 6, presiding judge said during a session aired by state TV.
The retrial includes Mubarak, his two sons Alaa and Gamal, former Interior Minister Habib al-Adli, six former top police officials and fugitive business tycoon Hussein Salem over charges of protester death along with corruption, profiteering and illicit gains.
Cairo Criminal Court decided to adjourn the retrial to July 6 at the request of Mubarak's lawyer and the lawyers of the other defendants.
The court also decided to temporarily release Mubarak's two sons Alaa and Gamal over corruption charges as long as they are not wanted for other charges.
Mubarak and Adli were sentenced to life imprisonment in June 2012 over responsibility for killing protesters in the 2011 upheaval. They appealed the verdict, which was accepted by the court. The court has started the appeal sessions since May 11.
Mubarak ruled Egypt for nearly three decades and was toppled by nationwide protests in January 2011.
