Show proof for Mubarak's crimes

In the trial against Hosni Mubarak the Egyptian public prosecutors demanded the death penalty for the former president on Thursday. Mubarak was responsible for the deadly shots against demonstrators last spring, public prosecutor Mustafa Sulaiman said in his final summation. The conservative daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung is incredulous and calls for proof: "It's hard to believe when you consider the friendly nature of the Egyptians, but it can't be ruled out that because of the sluggish progress being made with the reforms the intention is now to make an example of Mubarak and his former minister al-Adli, who is truly hated all over the country and is also standing trial. However it would be nice to know what 'incontrovertible evidence' there is that Mubarak is to blame for the deaths of more than eight hundred demonstrators. Such evidence may exist, but then it should be made public."
