Egypt: Emergency Powers Excessive


Detention Without Judicial Review; Trials Lacking Appeal Rights
January 30, 2013

"(New York) – President Mohamed Morsy of Egypt should reverse the emergency powers he issued on January 27, 2013, Human Rights Watch said today. The emergency powers give the police the authority to detain people in three cities for up to 30 days without any judicial review, and permit trials of those detained before emergency security courts. Judicial review of detention is a fundamental right that may not be removed, even during emergencies.

On January 28 the Shura Council, Egypt’s partially elected upper house, passed a law that would give military officers the right to arrest civilians, which would therefore give them the right to bring civilians before military courts. The law will come into force after ratification by the President and publication in the official gazette which is yet to occur. President Morsy should order an end to military trials of civilians and instruct Egyptian military commanders to bring all civilians they arrest before civilian courts, Human Rights Watch said.

“The government has the duty to take reasonable steps to protect security, but this knee-jerk response granting the police excessive powers is certainly not the answer,” said Joe Stork, deputy Middle East director at Human Rights Watch. “What is glaringly missing are orders to the police and military to exercise restraint in their use of force and to warn that all official abuses will be punished.”......"

I've been browsing on-line more than 3 hours today, yet I by no means found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty price sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made excellent content material as you probably did, the net will likely be a lot more helpful than ever before.

Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
The words in your article seem to be running off the
screen in Firefox. I'm not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I thought I'd post to let you
know. The style and design look great though! Hope you get the
problem fixed soon. Thanks

My programmer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.

I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on a variety of websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another
platform. I have heard very good things about blogengine.net.
Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it?
Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!
