Minister Checks Prison's Readiness to Receive Ousted President

AL-MASRY AL-YOUM: Minister of Interior Mansour al-Essawy made a surprise visit to Tora prison's hospital Saturday night, a senior security source said.

The source told Egyptian news agency MENA that the minister checked all the hospital's departments to determine what renovations are required to prepare it for hosting Egypt's toppled president, Hosni Mubarak.

Following the investigation, Essawy convened with his assistant for the prison sector and Tora's chief to receive a detailed report on inmates' conditions.

Earlier in April, Egypt's attorney general ordered an investigation into the possibility of transferring Mubarak to the prison. » | MENA | Sunday, May 01, 2011
