And under the conditions of the UN weapons inspections team was allowed into the country, they are only allowed to visit three sites and that doesn't include other sites of this alleged atrocity. There's possibly another complication as well, they are only allowed to stay there for 14 days, so the clock is already ticking."

"The state television showed a helicopter rising up carrying Mr. Mubarak to military hospital in the Cairo district of Maadi and then he was taken on a stretcher from the helicopter into the hospital.

“国家电视台显示一架起飞的直升机将穆巴拉克带到开罗郊区迈哈迪的一所军事医院，然后躺在担架上的他被从直升机上抬下来送到医院。目前的局势就我们看来是，检方已经亮了绿灯，称没有理由继续对穆巴拉克进行审前羁押，因为他已经服了最长时间的刑罚了，但目前他仍在软禁中。”
