Mubarak unfit to be moved to prison

Ailing former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak is not well enough to be moved to prison from his hospital in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, the country\'s public prosecutor said on Tuesday. \"After having examined (Mubarak\'s) medical file and evaluated (facilities) at the hospital in Tora prison, the committee has decided not to transfer the patient outside Sharm el-Sheikh for the moment,\" the prosecutor said. Mubarak has been in custody in hospital since April 13 after reportedly suffering a heart attack during questioning about the killing of anti-regime protesters and fraud. The 83-year-old is said to be suffering from \"episodes of unconsciousness due to circulatory problems and low blood pressure,\" the statement said. He also suffers \"an irregular heartbeat which could lead to a sudden heart attack,\" it said. The former president is described as \"generally weak and depressed, and he has trouble getting out bed without help.\" The prosecutor also said Mubarak had suffered from \"bile duct tumours which have been operated on abroad,\" without elaborating. In March 2010, Mubarak went to Germany for surgery. Doctors at the time said Mubarak had suffered from chronic calculus cholecystitis -- an inflammation of the gall bladder accompanied by gall stones -- and a duodenal polyp. They said he also had a growth removed from his small intestine.
