Hosni Mubarak, Egypt’s former president overthrown in 2011, was freed on Friday after six years in detention, according to his lawyer. Mubarak was cleared of the final murder charges against him after facing trial in a litany of cases ranging from corruption to the killing of protesters. Mubarak was initially arrested in April 2011, two months after leaving office, and has since been held in prison and in military hospitals under heavy guard.
