Former Egyptian dictator's son clubbing pics spark anger

The one-time heir apparent to the presidency of Egypt has been spotted out clubbing this week in a nightclub in a posh resort on the country's north coast, to the dismay of many on social media.

Son of longtime autocrat Hosni Mubarak, Gamal, was snapped while partying at the 6ix Degrees nightclub in the exclusive Hacienda Bay beach compound on the Mediterranean.

This is the first time Mubarak's son has been photographed while out partying, since he and his brother were released from prison in October last year.

Mubarak and his sons were arrested on corruption charges months after their regime was toppled in a popular revolution.

The photo has angered many Egyptians, who seem to have forgotten that most of the former regime officials who were arrested and tried, have been acquitted.

"While Gamal Mubarak raves in 6ix degrees, miraculously making it through door selection wearing a dry-fit [Nike] shirt, tucked in - what seems to appear as - linen pants, people are still wondering why our revolution failed miserably. Oh Egypt, if you were a science fiction movie, I'd still find it hard to believe you were real," Mohamed Kassem said on Facebook.

Translation: "Five and half years after the Jan 25 revolution. The people who led it are in prison, the people who 'protected' it are in the presidential palace and Gamal Mubarak is in 6ix degrees."

Hosni Mubarak has also fared relatively well in post-uprising Egypt being held in a military hospital for the majority for the past few years.

Meanwhile, Egypt's first democratically elected leader Mohammad Morsi, who was ousted by a military coup in 2013, has been sentenced to death for his alleged but unsubstantiated role in the prison breaks and attacks on police that took place during the uprising.
