Ex-president Hosni Mubarak, on trial for the death of protesters during Egypt's 2011 uprising that toppled him, said future generations would judge him "fairly" in an interview published on Sunday, but his lawyer denied the exchange took place. "The interview is fabricated, it never took place," lawyer Farid al-Deeb told AFP. The independent Al-Watan, which is highly critical of Egypt's new ruling Islamists, said the interview was the first the ex-president gave since he was forced to quit in February 2011 after massive protests against his 30-year rule.
