Former President of Egypt Hosni Mubarak today walked out of detention in his own country after six years.

Mubarak left for his home from a military hospital in the Egyptian capital Cairo. He was undergoing treatment for various illnesses in the southern part of the city. He directly went to his home in the northern suburbs of the city.

Mubarak had been overthrown from power in Egypt six years ago following civic unrest in the country that kicked off a series of people's revolutions in the Middle-East.

Mubarak's freedom has come after the apex court in Egypt acquitted him from the charges of the deaths of protesters in 2011 unrest.
