Egyptian protesters in Cairo's Tahrir Square on June 5 demonstrate against verdicts handed down in ex-president Hosni Mubarak's murder trial. Mubarak and his interior minister, Habib al-Adly, were sentenced to life in prison on June 2, but six security chiefs were acquitted over the killings of demonstrators during last year's uprising that left some 850 people dead and ousted the government from power.
