HOSNI Mubarak's condition showed "slight" improvement yesterday and the ousted president was visited in his prison hospital by a physiotherapist to treat him for bed sores.
But security officials said he is refusing prison food and is suspicious of his doctors.
The officials at Torah Prison, where the 84-year-old Mubarak is serving a life sentence, said he ate yogurt and drank juice, apparently brought in by visitors. He was being given liquids and vitamins intravenously.
Mubarak was sentenced to life in prison on June 2 for failing to prevent the killing of protesters during the uprising that toppled his regime 16 months ago. His lawyer, Farid El-Deeb, said on Monday that Mubarak did not trust his doctors and feared they were out to kill him.
Since his arrival at the prison directly after his sentencing, Mubarak has been suffering from high blood pressure and breathing difficulties and deep depression, according to prison officials. On Monday, doctors used a defibrillator on him twice after they could not find his pulse.
