3:03 pm
a little of the corruption and that accepting bribes accumulating personal wealth to corruption really surprised many remember we're talking about personal wealth about captivated between seventy to eighty five billion accumulated over his three decades of rule that's angered many people and those are macis iraq right now to give tax relief the police line here also caution his carrier as well attack here somewhere in the city many people wonder i think at this point whether it be the delivery of this verdict that this wasn't planned or timed actually to. be almost part of the election outcome it's happening right in the middle of the round of elections many believe that hit them that there are those who believe that if it hurts a campaign that much speak those who are angry about the lack of justice out here might want to take that out again or are this representative of the old guard.
3:04 pm
there are those that believe that i think that mel and i will be going home i'll be it without their father. will simply just remain in the bank guard of the old regime able to return able to use their backpack family's wealth to basically reestablish so. let's get some more in sign from the me follows the a revolution activists in cairo now the joins us live from the egyptian council know what are your thoughts on the outcome of the trial. mr frowsy this is a nice of the hour to studio can you hear me there in cairo. what are your thoughts on the outcome of the hosni mubarak trial life sentence what you have to say about it. actually the ruling is very disappointing since people hold expectations of the ruling.
3:05 pm
or. of the century as some people said and now people are thinking particularly evolutionary forces. a valid. judicial process. this is a time to have. to try harder and his regime for what they did for. the kates critical corruption. poverty. lack of adequate services. of the image of egypt so it's a matter of political political trial critical assessment of the whole video and others having just.
3:06 pm
focus on very minor issues the. mubarak legacy. many thousands are back in tahrir square as we speak a lot of them angry about the life sentence first it was seen really as a compromise verdict you know way like i said it looks like a lot of people are upset about it why is that. people took the street for different reasons and you have to acknowledge some revolutionary forces. because they think is is is the rebuilding itself again mubarak is about to be acquitted if court really gets called to. before. political this is this is expected by the way. and others particularly muslim brotherhood. protesting in to hear the squid on the squares in egypt particularly examine the other places they wanted to portray their candidates in the presidential elections
3:07 pm
for the second round. as a candidate of the egyptian revolution again is as old regime again is. mubarak and their guinness also as a state establishment candidate in this. in this race so i think is that people into the square for multiple reasons and not just one reason. there's a muslim brotherhood this is trying to capitalize on what's going on for the sake of the brzezinski election. but just briefly stomach gyptian revolutionary say they support neither the runoff candidates where the revolutionaries on the political scene are they buying like you say the muslim brotherhood trying to take advantage of the situation. because the muslim brotherhood actually. introduced their candidates and the presidential election as a candidate was
3:08 pm
a brotherhood it's over those that come to that was that evolution there were two other candidates and the first is that only the elections of the represented that evolution much with those of the muslim brotherhood. have been moved to do it's obvious that we see kind of the idea of those now if it. is this true versus there's a group of muslim brotherhood i think that's a state with women. but as a muslim brother who would like to have a different view in the british election to court today. that it has a bit of that if you use of. the lies as put it is a story that people are quite angry about what's going up those a verdict today. to get the maximum britain for the moment so you have a pretty thick is that of supporting the things that you've said if you should. write some a pharmacy talking to us live from cairo thank you very much for your input.
