A prosecutor in the trial against Hosni Mubarak has called for a death penalty for the toppled Egyptian dictator.
Mubarak is charged with complicity in the killing of hundreds of protesters during the revolt that led to his ousting from power in 2010.
Mustafa Khater, one of a five-member prosecution team, also asked for the death sentence for Mubarak's security chief and six top police commanders who are being tried in the same case, The Guardian informs.
"Any fair judge must issue a death sentence for these defendants," Khater has been cited saying on the third and final day of the prosecution's opening statement.
"We feel the spirits of the matryrs flying over this hall of sacred justice and those who lost their sight by the bullets of the defendants are stumbling around it to reach the judge and demand fair retribution from those who attacked them," he also declared.
