Mubarak said that Egyptian authorities want to kill him in prison

Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak 84, jailed since his conviction to life imprisonment on June 2 and has suffered two heart attacks on Monday, accused Egyptian authorities of wanting to kill him in prison. "He said, want to kill me. Save me, Mr. Farid, find a solution," he told AFP his main lawyer, Farid el Dib, who defended him during his trial for the repression of the revolt against his regime in early 2011, the 850 leaving dead. Farid el Dib, who visited the former president in prison last Saturday, said that Mubarak's health is very critical and that the conditions of the prison medical wing "are scandalous." The health of Mubarak became much worse, said on Monday that a prison source said the former president suffered heart attacks and fainting. "The heart (Mubarak) has stopped twice. Doctors had to use a defibrillator," said a medical source from Tora Prison, south of Cairo. "Sometimes it's conscious and others unconscious, and refuses to eat," said the source who asked not to be identified, implying that his health had deteriorated sharply. Earlier, an Interior Ministry official had said that Mubarak's health was "critical but stable". The Egyptian authorities also indicated that studied the possibility of transferring the former president to a hospital in the capital. The health of the former head of state deteriorated when he reached the prison establishment, which was installed in an area under medical control. Security sources say they suffer from acute depression, have difficulty breathing and hypertension. His family requested his transfer to a hospital, but authorities reported that have not yet taken a decision and that Mubarak would be "treated like any prisoner." Before his conviction, Mubarak was in a hospital. The former head of state was sentenced to life imprisonment for the repression of the revolt against his regime in early 2011, which left nearly 850 dead. The court accused him of not having a direct responsibility, but did not take the necessary steps to prevent these deaths. The corruption charges against him and his two sons Gamal and Alaa were not considered. Six senior officials of security at the time were acquitted, which led many Egyptians to believe that the process was very gracious. Last week, the prison authorities accepted that Gamal, also held in Tora prison awaiting another trial for corruption, was transferred to be closer to his father. Alaa Mubarak had also asked to stay near him. His wife Susan and their two daughters were allowed to visit him on Sunday after rumors that he had died, according to government media. One of his lawyers, Farib el-Dib, said, "consider the Ministry of Interior and the Attorney General is responsible Mubarak passed away in prison" without receiving adequate medical care. But officials fear that a possible transfer to a hospital enrages the population, when the country is going through a difficult time. Information about Mubarak's health since his resignation in February 2011 were often partial and contradictory.Mubarak attended during his trial lying on a stretcher, but many Egyptians believe that this was a strategy to provoke compassion. In March 2010, Mubarak was hospitalized in Germany for a removal of the gallbladder and a polyp in the duodenum.
