1:00: Trial is in recess.
12:45: Fareed al-Deeb, who is representing Mubarak and his two sons, raises seven demands, most of them quite technical: 1) transcribing the content of memory cards that contain information about the case and distributing copies to the defense team; 2) photocopies of the interrogation files of Gamal Mubarak, 43 pages of which Deeb says are missing; 3) hearing the testimony of all 1761 witnesses in the case; 4) testimony of SCAF head Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi; 5) testimony of former Secretary of South Sinai Governorate Hassan Beshr; 6) testimony from seven former governors of South Sinai Governorate; and 7) testimony from Mubarak’s German physician.
12:25: Lawyers say that media organizations are also responsible, since they incited public opinion by calling the revolutionaries "thugs." For this reason, former Shura Council head Safwat al-Sherif, former National Democratic Party leader Ahmed Ezz, and Mubarak Chief of Staff Zarakiya Azmy should all be part of the case. Another lawyer requests summoning the heads of Egyptian telecom firms, including Vodafone and Etisalat, which participated in the communication blackout.
