Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak will be retried for allowing the killing of protesters during the 2011 Arab Spring protests, the country’s high court ruled Thursday. The 87-year-old leader was initially sentenced to life in prison in 2012. A court dropped charges against him in an initial retrial, but that move was appealed by the prosecution. His successor, Mohammed Morsi, may face the death penalty over a prison break.
