The retrial of former president Hosni Mubarak and his interior minister Habib El-Adly [2] will begin on 13 April.
Mubarak and Adly were handed life sentences in June 2012 [3]for the killing of protesters during the January 25 Revolution. [4]
The Court of Appeal, headed by Judge Samir Abul-Moaty, announced the trial date on Sunday.
A court accepted Mubarak's request for a retrial in January. El-Adly, and six of his aides who were acquitted in the initial trial, will also be retried.
Mubarak and El-Adly are currently being held in jail on other charges of graft and corruption.
