Arab Spring: Egypt's Hosni Mubarak, from hospital bed, pleads not guilty
An ailing, 83-year-old Hosni Mubarak, lying on a hospital bed inside a metal defendant's cage pleaded innocent to charges of corruption and complicity in the killing of protesters at the start of his historic trial.He was considered a 'moderate' by the West now we condone those who put him in a metal cage- scared he's going to run away?The spectacle, aired live on state television, was a stunning moment for Egyptians, many of whom savoured the humiliation of the man who ruled with unquestionable power for 29 years. After widespread scepticism that Egypt's military rulers would allow it, the scene went a long way to satisfy one of the key demands that has united protesters since Feb. 11, when Mubarak fell following an 18-day uprising.
