[edit] "The emergency law"?

This entry mentions the party's call for the abolishment of "the emergency law." Can anyone explain what, exactly, that means? -Dan 03:48, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Great question! Sorry it took forever for anyone to respond, but I'm relatively new to Wiki. Anyway, emergency law is essentially a reference to the general and official state of emergency that has been declared in Egypt since the assassination of the late Muhammad Anwar As-Sadat (the Egyptian Republic's third president), in 1981. In effect, this law prohibits "unapproved" mass gatherings or demonstrations, along with many other internal security measures that serve to control the political climate in Egypt to this day. For example, any group who wishes to express certain views in a peaceful demonstration must first go through an approval/licensing procedure, which must (naturally) conform to the guidelines and requirements set forth by the Ministry of Interior Affairs. I hope this answers your question...cheers! --How am I editing so far? Call 1-800-2GOOD4U! 09:37, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
