The report came a day after Mubarak was questioned about allegations of killings of protesters and corruption. Credit: Reuters/Amr Abdallah Dalsh By Marwa Awad SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt | Thu Apr 14, 2011 2:12pm EDT SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt (Reuters) - Hosni Mubarak's detention by a prosecutor has stunned and amazed millions of Egyptians but some in the military now ruling the country are deeply uncomfortable about humiliating their elderly former commander. Before protests erupted on January 25, Mubarak and his political and business elite were seen as above the law. Now the ex-president and his two sons are being brought to justice. "Not just one Mubarak but three Mubaraks will face trial! That's what I call a revolution," said Essa Abdullah, who works in one of the hotels in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh. Mubarak, 82, a former air force chief tossed out of office on February 11 by people power, was ordered detained on Wednesday for 15 days for questioning. For now, he is being held in a hospital in Sharm el-Sheikh receiving treatment. His two sons, Gamal and Alaa Mubarak, have also been added to a list of those detained and have already been moved to Torah prison on the outskirts of Cairo where presidential aides, ex-ministers, former party officials and executives are held. An army source said on Thursday Mubarak's condition was stable but said there were no plans for now to move him. Mubarak has been detained in a probe over the killing of protesters, abusing power and embezzling public funds. . More than 380 people were killed in the demonstrations. "For Mubarak, Egyptians were out of sight and out of mind. He stayed in Sharm el-Sheikh most of the year and when he came out to the streets they were cleared of people so 'his highness' could scoot along in his limo. But God is greater than any pharaoh," said Metwali Ismail, a protester in the resort. In office, Mubarak spent more and more time in Sharm el-Sheikh. Its neat and clean streets lined with plush hotels are a world away from the grinding poverty of many Egyptians. On the third floor inside the glass pyramid-shaped hospital rests the ailing Mubarak, a medical source said. No visitors are allowed in to see a man dubbed by Egyptians as a modern pharaoh. Six police trucks and hundred of security men guard the gates. Dozens of protesters outside the hospital on Wednesday night chanted: "Thief come down ... Where is our money?" They want Mubarak to leave tourist hub and head to Cairo to face trial. MUBARAK THE AIR FORCE COMMANDER For the army, which assumed power after Mubarak was ousted, the former commander-in-chief's fall from grace is hard to stomach. Some soldiers see his detention as a humiliation though necessary step to assuage the protesters demanding a purge. "You can demand justice forcefully without needing to resort to obscene insults," said a senior army officer in Sharm el-Sheikh. Most Egyptians see Mubarak in light of what they say was 30 years of repressive and corrupt rule. But he was also a air force chief in the 1973 war with Israel that led to Egypt regaining control of the Sinai and Sharm el-Sheikh. 1 2 Next World Tweet this Share this Link this Digg this Email Reprints We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
