Former president Hosni Mubarak and others, involved in the killing of pro-democracy activists during a popular uprising that ousted the Egyptian strongman, will be put on trial in Cairo on August 3, the state media reported.
"It has been decided that the trial of ex-president Hosni Mubarak and his two sons Alaa and Gamal... will be held in the building of the General Authority for Investment and the free trade areas in the Cairo Expo grounds," the official news agency MENA quoted a Justice Ministry official as saying.
83-year-old Mubarak, toppled in February, has been in hospital in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh since April, where he is undergoing treatment for a heart condition.
He has been charged with involvement in the killing of protesters, corruption and abuse of power. If found guilty of the murder charge, Mubarak may be executed.
Egypt's minister of interior Mansour el Essawi has said security has been finalised for the trial of Mubarak, his two sons, former Interior Minister Habib al-Adli and others.
