Egypt Court Orders End to State of Emergency Curfew
A Cairo Administrative Court ruled the three month state of emergency has ended two days early but authorities held off from lifting the nighttime curfew. The decision’s implementation was delayed awaiting official notification as security forces prepared for possible protests by supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi. Morsi met lawyers in Alexandria prison, claiming to remain president and rejecting legal representation in his trial. Officials had announced the emergency’s expiration date as November 12, with the Cabinet saying it would comply once the ruling is issued in writing.
