Echoes of the past
Three years since the Arab Spring protests swept through Egypt ending
Hosni Mubarak’s 29-year grip on power, the revolution has come full
circle after a court dropped criminal charges against the former
president over the killing of protesters in the 2011 uprising.
In a case dubbed by the Egyptian media as the “trial of the
century,” Mubarak stood accused of ordering police to kill protesters.
Human rights groups say more than 800 people died during the 18-day
uprising that eventually led to Mubarak’s ouster on Feb. 11, 2011.
