Mubarak suffers heart attack moments after being told he will spend the rest of his life in jail.(DM).Former Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak suffered a heart attack today just moments after being told he would spend the rest of his life in jail. Following a lengthy trial, the man who ruled over the country for 30 years was sentenced after being found guilty of being complicit in the killings of protesters during the country's uprising. The ruling came at a politically fraught time for Egypt, two weeks before a run-off in its first free presidential election that will pit the Muslim Brotherhood, which was banned under Mubarak, against the deposed autocrat's last prime minister. Mubarak, propped up on a hospital stretcher and wearing dark sunglasses, heard the verdict with a stony expression. He had been wheeled into the cage used in Egyptian courtrooms, while the other defendants stood. Over the past months, Mubarak has been held in a presidential suite in a hospital on the outskirts of Cairo. Doctors treating him have said he is weak and has lost weight from refusing to eat. They have also said he suffers from severe depression. The Times newspaper today reported that Mubarak has even asked his doctors for prescription drugs so he can take an overdose. The trial found Mubarak's two sons Alaa and Gamal not guilty of corruptions charges, but they both still face a separate trial on charges of insider trading. Former interior minister habib El-Adly was sentenced to life in prison for complicity in murder and attempted murder of protesters. He was convicted and sentenced in two other corruption cases. Hussein Salem, an ex-army and intelligence officer closely linked to Mubarak was acquitted in absentia of corruption charges. Demonstrators outside the court, many of whom had been demanding the death penalty for Mubarak, greeted the verdict with fireworks and cries of 'Allahu akbar' meaning God is great. Soha Saeed, the wife of one of about 850 people killed in the street revolt that toppled Mubarak on February 11, 2011, shouted: 'I'm so happy. I'm so happy.'Read the full story here.
