Egypt's Hosni Mubarak freed from detention

Cairo: Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has been freed from detention, six years after being overthrown, reports BBC.
Mr Mubarak left a military hospital in southern Cairo and went to his home in the northern suburb of Heliopolis, his lawyer said.
He was ordered freed earlier this month after Egypt's top appeals court cleared him over the deaths of protesters in the 2011 uprising.
Mr Mubarak, 88, became president in 1981 after Anwar Sadat's assassination.
He had been at Maadi Military Hospital since 2013, when he was transferred there on bail from Torah prison. Mr Mubarak was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted in 2012 of complicity in the killing of protesters who died at the hands of security forces in February, 2011.
