Ousted Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak was sent back to prison from a military hospital on Monday after his health improved.
Mubarak, sentenced to life in prison over the killing of protesters in the uprising that ended his rule, was shifted from the medical wing of Tora prison to a military hospital last month following reports of a deterioration in his health, Reuters reported.
At the time, senior officers and military sources gave various accounts of the 84-year-old’s condition, including that he was in a coma and on life support.
He was moved to hospital just days after Egyptians voted in the second round of a presidential election that eventually installed the Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohamed Mursi.
Adel al-Saeed, the assistant prosecutor and spokesman for the prosecutor’s office, said on Monday a medical committee formed to review Mubarak’s condition had decided his health was stable enough that he did not need advanced hospital care.
“The medical committee’s members have unanimously reached a decision that his medical condition is currently stable under the use of medication,” the statement from the prosecution said.
