Egyptian prosecutor genera ordered on Monday the former President Hosni Mubarak who was ousted last year following a popular uprising back to jail.

Abdel Meguid Mahmud "has issued an order to transfer former president Hosni Mubarak from the Maadi Armed Forces Hospital to Tora prison hospital after an improvement in his health," his office said in a statement.

The decision is taken nearly a month after he was moved to a military hospital in Cairo after reportedly suffering a stroke

On July 4, Mahmud had ordered the formation of a committee of medical experts to look into the 84-year-old Mubarak's health, and determine whether he could be moved back to prison, deputy prosecutor general Adel al-Saeed said.

The doctors agreed that "Mubarak's health is currently stable with medication, and it is considered good for someone of his age," he noted.

The committee found "no reason for the convict to currently remain in the Armed Forces Hospital in Maadi or any other hospital" with special facilities, Saeed added.
