The retrial of former Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak has been plunged into chaos as the judge quits on the first day.
Judge Mustafa Hassan Abdullah said he had decided to refer the case to the Cairo appeals court as he felt "unease" in reviewing it.
Some families of the victims gathered outside court As he filed out of the courtroom after a hearing that lasted just seconds, there was uproar with people shouting and waving their arms. Civil society lawyers attending the trial chanted: "The people want the execution of the president".
Mubarak is facing retrial on charges of complicity in the murder of more than 800 protesters killed in the uprising that toppled him in 2011.
A man calls for Mubarak to face a court in the Hague Last year, Mubarak was sentenced to life imprisonment on the same charges, which include indictments related to corruption, but after a successful appeal against his conviction in January the ruling was overturned due to failings in the prosecution case.
He will now face those charges again, alongside his former interior minister Habib El Adly and four aides.
Earlier on Saturday, television footage showed Mubarak, dressed in white and wearing sunglasses, wheeled out of an ambulance on a stretcher and taken into the capital's Police Academy in a suburb of the capital for the hearing.
He had been flown in from a military hospital where he is being treated.
Inside the courtroom, he was seen sitting up, smiling and waving from inside a barred cage before the proceedings were adjourned.
Last October, the very same judge had acquitted the defendants in the infamous "Battle of the Camels" trial, who were accused of sending men on camels and horses to break up a protest during the 2011 uprising.
