Ousted Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak is still president of the country as he did not sign an official resignation, his lawyer claimed on Sunday and demanded that he be tried by a special tribunal during his concluding defence argument.
Lawyer Farid al Deeb said Mubarak gave up the presidency orally to former vice-president Omar Suleiman, who was appointed by him as vice president last year.
