REASONS OF THE REVOLUTION Emergency Law Emergency law has existed since Police powers were extended, censorship became legal and constitional rights suspended Goverment can put citizens into prisons indefinitely and without any reason

REASONS OF THE REVOLUTION Police brutality Police brutality was common and widespread in the Egypt. Mubarek's regime always denied the existence of torture.

REASONS OF THE REVOLUTION Corruption in government elections Over last 30 years, there had been a lot of corrupted manipulations of the elections.

REASONS OF THE REVOLUTION Restrictions on free speech and press Their journalists had no right for free speech, they were under pressure and they were restricted. Media was under the control of government. Economical Problems Citizens complained about the lowest wages.

The revolution in Egypt was launched by the rich and the problem was not bread Poverty was not the main reason behind the uprising, the Egyptian people. The main reason for the honor and dignity trampled recovery of the revolution, spread corruption throughout the country, the wish to end oppression and persecution.

Generally, Why did people involved in revolts in Arabic countries? Especially in Egypt? The main reason for extending these demonstrations, repression and persecution by the Egyptian and Arabians of the safety and tramples the dignity. Corruption tens of years lost due to remain in power, the freedom of floating in the minority wants to win again. 31 years in Egypt, Libya, 42 years, 28 years in Tunisia, Yemen, 34 years

Is the main reason behind the protests poverty or are there any other reasons? Especially, young people who started the revolution in Egypt, were the children of rich families. An enormous group of these young people launched the revolution. But then everyone, the poor state officials richest dignity trampled by senior officials attended the oppressed themselves.
