By Ali Abdelaty CAIRO (Reuters) - An Egyptian court ordered the release of the sons of ousted president Hosni Mubarak on Thursday pending a retrial, their lawyer said, as rare protests erupted days before the anniversary of the 2011 uprising that toppled the autocrat. Lawyer Farid el-Deeb said the order for the release of Alaa and Gamal Mubarak should mean they immediately walk free. The Cairo Criminal Court said in a document explaining its ruling that the two men had already served the maximum permitted time of 18 months in pretrial detention and should therefore not be held pending their retrial in a corruption case. The retrial was ordered by Egypt's high court earlier this month.
