Mubarak's sons released from Egyptian prison Two sons of the former Egyptian President, Hosni Mubarak have been released from jail, a day after the fourth anniversary of the uprising that ousted him. Alaa and Gamal Mubarak left Cairo's Torah Prison early today after nearly four years in detention. Last week, a court ordered that the two men be freed pending retrial along with their father on embezzlement charges. The court found they had already served the maximum pre-trial detention period.
