The chief prosecutor in Hosni Mubarak's trial on Thursday demanded the death sentence for the ousted Egyptian dictator, arguing that he had ordered the killings of anti-regime demonstrators.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The chief prosecutor in Hosni Mubarak's trial on Thursday demanded the death sentence for the ousted Egyptian dictator, arguing that he had ordered the killings of anti-regime demonstrators.

"The law foresees the death penalty for premeditated murder," Mustafa Suleiman told the court at the end of his three-day case against Mubarak.

The prosecutor said then interior minister Habib el-Adli, who is also on trial, could "not have given the order to fire on demonstrators without having been instructed to do so by Mubarak."
