    Egyptians celebrate as they hear the verdict over a car radio on ousted president Hosni Mubarak outside the police academy courtroom in Cairo, Egypt, June 2.

    Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak sits inside a cage in a courtroom in Cairo June 2.

    Egypt's ousted ruler Hosni Mubarak was sentenced to life in prison Saturday for complicity in the killings of protesters who eventually overthrew him. He could have received the death penalty.

    Presiding judge Ahmed Refaat also sentenced his former interior minister, Habib el-Adli, to life in prison on the same charge. But Mubarak's two sons -- Gamal and Alaa -- were acquitted on corruption charges.   

    Scuffles broke out in the Cairo courtroom between supporters and opponents of the former president after the verdicts were announced.

    CNN is headlining a story with a giant picture of Mubarak in a cage facing the human and civil rights charges against him. THAT'S what REAL democracy looks like! We should have sent Bush to Abu Ghraib for War Crimes charges as well.

    People are reflected in the windows of a new office block on May 29, in 6th October City, Egypt. 6th October City was established in 1979 and whose name commemorates Egypt's military operations in the 1973 6th of October War against Israel. Protests in January and February brought an end to 30 years of autocratic rule by President Hosni Mubarak who will now face trial. Food prices have doubled and youth unemployment stands at 30%. Tourism is yet to return to pre-uprising levels.

    High food prices, high unemployment and low tourism persist in Egypt

    Joyous scenes in Tahrir Square

    By David R Arnott, NBC News

    AP reports: General Hassan al-Roueini, military commander for the Cairo area, told thousands of protesters in central Tahrir Square, "All your demands will be met today." Some in the crowd held up their hands in V-for-victory signs, shouting "the people want the end of the regime" and "Allahu akbar".
