Hosni Mubarak Has Been Released From Prison

Hosni Mubarak, the man who ruled Egypt for 30 years, only to be removed from power in dramatic revolts two years ago, has been released from prison, the Associated Press is reporting.

The AP says that Mubarak has been taken to a military hospital in Cairo. He is not believed to be in good health and will likely be placed in house arrest.

Egyptian state television showed a medically equipped helicopter landing at the prison to transport him earlier today.

He still faces charges for allowing the killing of hundreds of protesters during the Arab Spring revolts in 2011 that led to his ouster.

This is a developing story and we will have more information as it becomes available.
