FORMER Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak has arrived at a Cairo court to face a new trial, after an appeal against the life sentence handed down against him was accepted.
Television footage on Saturday showed Mubarak, dressed in white and wearing sunglasses, wheeled out of an ambulance on a stretcher and taken into Cairo's Police Academy where the trial is being held.
He had been transported first by helicopter from the Cairo military hospital where he is being treated, the official MENA news agency said.
His two sons, Gamal and Alaa, and his former security chief Habib al-Adly, have also made their way to the court for the retrial, MENA said.
A handful of Mubarak supporters stood outside the court house, holding posters of their former leader, but they were outnumbered by security officers.
The fate of the ousted strongman has been largely eclipsed by deadly turmoil and economic woes gripping Egypt.
His original trial in August 2011 was a major moment for both Egypt and the region, being the first time an Arab leader deposed by his people had appeared in court in person.
Mubarak, Adly and six security chiefs are in the dock again over their alleged complicity in the murder and attempted murder of hundreds of peaceful protesters on January 25-31, 2011.
Gamal and Alaa Mubarak - once symbols of Egyptian power and wealth - are also being retried on corruption charges. Another defendant, business tycoon Hussein Salem, is being tried in absentia.
