Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has been ordered released from prison after over two years behind bars. Mubarak is serving a life sentence for failing to prevent the killing of demonstrators during the 2011 uprising that toppled his regime, but a court has accepted his appeal for a new trial. He has also been cleared in separate corruption cases, although he will still face three others upon his release. Egyptian officials say they expect Mubarak to be transferred to a hospital followed by house arrest. Mubarak’s release comes amidst ongoing tensions between Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood and the interim Egyptian government, which includes remnants of Mubarak’s regime. On Wednesday, the European Union announced it will limit military exports to Egypt in response to the recent attacks by state forces on Muslim Brotherhood supporters.
