Egypt's prosecutor general has ordered the detention of former President Hosni Mubarak, ahead of an investigation into corruption and abuse allegations.
Mr. Mubarak is reported to be in an unstable condition a day after being admitted to hospital with heart problems.
He has been ordered detained for 15 days.
His sons Alaa and Gamal have also been detained amid allegations of corruption and violence, police say.
Eighty two year old Mubarak stood down on February 11 following an 18-day popular uprising against his rule.
State TV quotes medical sources as saying that Mr Mubarak had refused to eat or drink since being summoned by the public prosecutor on Sunday.
