The two sons of ousted Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak have been released on bail from prison nearly four years after they were arrested.

The pair walked free from a Cairo prison, but still face a retrial along with their father on corruption charges.

Mubarak, 86, stepped down in February 2011 in the face of a popular uprising, and was arrested with his two sons in April that year.

Mubarak remains at a Cairo military hospital although there are no longer any legal grounds for his detention.
