Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has told a court he didn't order the killing of protesters in 2011. Mubarak, 86, was speaking for the first time in court, at a reading in his retrial on charges of conspiracy to kill a huge selection of demonstrators. Mubarak admitted he had made mistakes, but he explained he did his better to fulfil his duties as president. He was overthrown in an uprising in February 2011 after nearly 30 years in office.
Mubarak resigned after 18 days of public protests, where at the least 365 people died. The proceedings have now been adjourned to September 27, when a verdict in case is expected. During Wednesday's court statement, which lasted nearly 25 minutes, Mubarak sat in the dock in a wheelchair.
