Egyptian authorities released former president Hosni Mubarak from prison late Thursday afternoon but faces house arrest due to pending charges of corruption and involvement in the murders of hundreds of people whose protests helped oust him from office two years.

An Egyptian court freed him because he has been in jail for the maximum amount of time allowed prior to conclusion of a trial. He has been acquitted on one charge of corruption, and his trial for involvement in the murders has been recessed.
