Demonstrations carry on through the night in Egypt

  • 12 years ago
Tens of thousands congregated in Tahrir Square and other parts of Egypt to celebrate the imprisonment of the country's former leader, Hosni Mubarak.

Shouting "invalid, invalid", however, the people still congregating in the square as Sunday morning say that the sentence on Saturday, in which he and his sons were also cleared of corruption charges, is flawed.

They are condemning the court judgment saying that it has failed to find anyone directly responsible for the killings of hundreds of people during the Egyptian uprising as well as for a continued lack of accountability for 30 years of abuses under the Mubarak regime.
