Egypt's former president Hosni Mubarak has been sentenced to life in prison after a court convicted him on charges of complicity in the killing of protesters during last year's uprising that forced him from power.
Habib el-Adli, Mubarak's minister of the interior, was also jailed for life but Mubarak's sons Gamal and Alaa were cleared of corruption.
People at the court in Cairo reacted angrily to the acquittal of Mubarak's sons and a series of interior ministry officials and police chiefs.
The crowd chanted, "False judgements. The people want to clean the judicial system," and fights broke out inside and stones were thrown at riot police outside the court.
Mubarak is the first Arab leader to be tried by his own people but he can still appeal his sentence.
