Summary Hosni Mubarak has been shifted to military hospital following complications from a recent injury.
Egypt s deputy interior minister says that ousted President Hosni Mubarak has been transferred to a military hospital from his prison cell for the second time in a week following complications from a recent injury.
Mubarak is serving a life term after being sentenced in June for failing to stop the killing of hundreds of protesters during last year s uprising.
Maj. Gen. Mohammed Ibrahim said Thursday that the 84-year old Mubarak had been moved to the hospital in Cairo s Maadi suburb after reports showed his condition was deteriorating and he needed more medical attention.
Mubarak was hospitalized last week for x-rays of his head and ribs after he fell in a prison bathroom. His lawyers have asked authorities to return him to the hospital which had better facilities than the prison.
