Former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak will face a second trial which is a re-trial over the killing of protesters during the 2011 uprising which forced him from power.
The order was made by Egypt’s appeal court.
The judge accepted the public prosecution’s appeal against an earlier court ruling that dropped the case against Mubarak.
Mubarak, who ruled Egypt with an iron first for three decades, has already spent at least three years in prison for other cases.
The judge said the retrial, based on charges against him of conspiring to kill protesters during the 2011 Arab Spring uprising centered around Cairo’s Tahrir Square, would begin on Nov. 5.
Last month an Egyptian court sentenced the former ruler and his two sons to three years in jail without parole in the retrial of a corruption case.
The former president, who was in power for nearly 30 years, stepped down in February 2011 after mass protests against his rule.
He has faced a series of trials and retrials over the killings and corruption and the time he has spent in custody means he has already served his three-year jail term for embezzlement.
