Egypt court adjourns Mubarak retrial to Monday

A Cairo court on Saturday adjourned the retrial of former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, his two sons, Gamal and Alaa as well as his Interior Minister Habib el-Adli and his aides to Monday, the presiding judge said.

Mubarak, his former interior minister and their aides were convicted and sentenced to life in prison for failing to stop the killing of protesters during the 18-day uprising that toppled him in 2011.
 
The court ruled that it would not consider civil claims until the lawsuit is settled, which halts the consideration of the requests by the civil plaintiffs for compensations until then.
