Protests erupt in Egypt after Hosni Mubarak charges dropped
Protests erupted at universities across Egypt after a court s decision to drop criminal charges against Hosni Mubarak, the president who was removed from power in the uprising of 2011. Hundreds of demonstrators gathered at Cairo University, waving pictures of Mubarak behind bars and demanding the "fall of the regime", the rallying cry of the Arab Spring uprisings that shook governments across the Middle East three years ago.
