The judge at the trial of the former Egyptian President, Hosni Mubarak, has adjourned it for three weeks and said hearings will no longer be televised.
The trial will now be merged with that of former Interior Minister Habib al-Adly, who is also accused of ordering the killing of protesters.
Mubarak once again appeared in court on a hospital bed, alongside his two sons, who are charged with corruption.
At least 20 people were injured in clashes between rival groups outside.
Mubarak resigned on 11 February after 18 days of mass protests in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, during which some 850 people were killed.
The 83-year-old former leader was brought to the Cairo police academy, that used to bear his name, in a military helicopter and then wheeled into the barred dock on a hospital bed. He was wearing a blue tracksuit.
His sons Alaa and Gamal stood next to him, dressed in white prison uniforms. They tried to shield him from the TV cameras. (BBC)
