An appeals court in Egypt today (June 4, 2015) ordered former President Hosni Mubarak -- who led Egypt for almost 30 years -- to stand trial again over the killing of protesters in 2011, according to the BBC website.
He was already convicted of corruption and sentenced to three years in jail this year.
Mubarak, 87, is in poor health and currently in the Maadi military hospital in Cairo.
He has faced a series of trials and retrials over the killings and corruption, and the time he has spent in custody means he has already served his three-year jail term for embezzlement.
