Hosni Mubarak is due to appear before a court for the a third hearing on corruption charges and complicity in the killing of protesters

Egypt's ousted President Hosni Mubarak is due to appear before a court for the a third hearing with witnesses giving testimonies about his involvement in and complicity in the killing of protesters during the 18-day-uprising that toppled him.

The trial will he held on Monday without live cameras as judge Ahmed Refaat imposed a broadcast ban at the end of the last session on August 15, for what he called protecting the testimony of witnesses.

Four policemen will take the stand to testify against Mubarak and his top security officials.

Mubarak's sons Gamal and Alaa are also to appear at Monday's session. They are charged with corruption. His former Interior Minister Habib al-Adly and six senior police officers will also be tried.

"We are expecting to hear the testimony of four witnesses that the prosecution has asked for to prove the charges against Mubarak and the others," said Gamal Eid, a lawyer representing 16 of the killed people in the uprising.

Meanwhile, ten Kuwaiti lawyers are expected to join Mubarak's defense team for the Monday trial session.
