Cairo ( CNN ) -- Civil rights lawyers demanded the death penalty for former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on Monday , joining prosecutor 's calls for him to be executed . `` We merged our voice with the prosecutor 's closing arguments from last week 's hearing and demanded the death sentence to Mubarak , his former interior minister Habib El Adly , and four of his aides for killing hundreds of protesters and injuring thousands more , '' attorney Khalid Abu Bakr told CNN . `` We have proof Mubarak is directly responsible for the killings along with El Adly and his aides . '' Abu Bakr said Mubarak deserved to die for violating Egypt 's criminal law 77 . `` His negligence and actions led to endangering the national security of the country , '' he said . The attorney also provided the court with a list of alleged suspects he wants indicted , including police officers he said where caught on camera firing their weapons on protesters . Another lawyer , Sameh Ashour , said he provided evidence to the court `` of communication between security forces that prove the presence of snipers on rooftop buildings during the revolution . '' The judge , Ahmed Refaat , has set aside Monday and Tuesday to hear from at least 10 civil rights lawyers . The defense is expected to make its closing arguments later in the week . `` The judge will then decide on a day to announce the final verdict , '' said Adel Saeed , the official spokesman of the General Prosecutor 's office . `` If he is fast , we may see a verdict before January 25th '' -- the day the Egyptian uprising began last year . Last week , the Russian foreign ministry issued a statement , expressing its `` deep concern '' over the prosecutor 's request for a death sentence to Mubarak and calling on Egypt to consider Mubarak 's old age and poor health . Germany and France also issued statements of `` concern . '' Mubarak is accused of corruption and ordering protesters killed during the country 's uprising last year . He has denied the charges . Two of Mubarak 's sons are also on trial on a variety of charges . The sons , Gamal and Alaa , have pleaded not guilty . Lawyers familiar with the case said it is unlikely Mubarak and his fellow defendants will receive the death penalty . This is in part because of the difficulty in proving the president ordered the killings , the lawyers said . Analysts agreed that while some Egyptians might welcome a death sentence for Mubarak , particularly at a time of heightened tension as the anniversary of the uprising approaches , he is more likely to receive a prison term . Many Egyptians have criticized the court proceedings and some worry that Mubarak may be acquitted of the murder charges . Five police officers accused of killing protesters already have been acquitted . Amnesty International had estimated more than 840 protesters were killed and 6,000 injured . Saeed , the prosecutor 's spokesman , said the prosecutor 's estimate of 225 deaths and more than 1,300 injured is lower `` because there has been a differentiation between those killed outside police stations while attacking the precinct and those shot while protesting . ''
NEW : `` His negligence and actions '' endangered national security , Bakr says . The U.S. government has been investigating the case for more than a year but is not releasing any information about what it knows or how much evidence they have against him. Attorney says Mubarak is `` directly responsible '' for killings . The former Egyptian president denies the charges against him .
