Egyptians await an extraordinary moment on Wednesday, when the two former Egyptian Presidents Mohamed Hosni Mubarak and Mohamed Morsi, will appear together before the Criminal Court in Cairo to testify at the trial of Morsi and others in the case of storming prisons during Egypts January 25 revolution.
The former President Mubarak was due to testify during the last hearing in early December but was absent as he refused to fulfill the civilian request, because he still enjoys military status, according to defense lawyer Farid al-Deeb.
The case brings together Mubarak and Morsi in one hall, the first as witness and the second as defendant for the first time in the history of Egypt.
Mubarak is closely associated to the case which looks into the issue of the border intrusion.
The events led later to his toppling from power on January 25, following the storming of prisons and police departments.
