Counterrevolution Update Egypt, September 21

Egypt's SCAF: Emergency Law in place until June, 2012

"The SCAF did not extend or declare the Emergency Law, which has already in place since June 2010 and endorsed by the Parliament," said General Adel El-Mursi, the head of the Military Judiciary Authority.
He added that what had happened was that Field Marshal Hussein Tanatwi amended some articles of the Emergency Law, applying it on more cases.
"Tantawi practiced his authority according to the constitutional declaration ratified on March 30," el-Mursi said.
The semi-official newspaper Al-Ahram reported Wednesday that the SCAF is looking into a proposal to call for a public referendum on a suitable electoral system and extending the Emergency Law.


The SCAF must be overthrown, otherwise there has been no revolution.
