Protestors beaten outside Mubarak trial venue

The trial of ousted Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak has adjourned until Wednesday after a tumultuous eight-hour session.

Angry protesters clash with police in Cairo. They are outside the trial of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, who stands accused of ordering the deaths of hundreds before he was ousted in February.
But demonstrators get more than they bargain for when riot police fight back, beating the anti-Mubarak demonstrators with batons.
Several people were injured, and witnesses accuse the police of senseless brutality.
Aliaa Alia, anti-Mubarak protester: “The last time, some people got hurt and they were hit. So we thought, if we were a little more, if the number was higher, they would not hit us, but it’s not true and much more than the last time and we got hit.”
They are also upset the trial is not being broadcast on television to prevent witnesses from seeing each others’ testimony.
This is the third hearing in the case against Mubarak, who ruled Egypt with an iron fist for three decades.
But in February, millions of Egyptians took to the streets, ousting him a bloody revolution.
The trial, which has seen a bedridden Mubarak hauled into court on a gurney, has divided Egyptians.
Some claim Mubarak has suffered enough.
Others hope he receives the death penalty.
In court, a senior general testified that Mubarak did not give the order to fire on protesters.
Mubarak is being tried with his two sons, Gamal and Alaa, the former minister of interior, Habib Al-Adly, and several high-ranking officials.
Egyptians and their neighbors are watching the case closely.
But it could be months before a verdict is reached in the case. There are hundreds of witnesses still left to testify, including the interim military leader, Hussein Tantawi.
