Several months ago, the Muslim Brotherhood and several other political parties demanded that this provision be scrapped before the power was returned to the country?s civilian leadership. They also forced the Army to prohibit court-martial trials of Egypt?s civilians.
One killed in clashes near Cairo's Tahrir Square - police
One person was killed near Cairo's Tahrir Square on Monday as clashes between police and protesters raged into a fifth straight day, a police official told reporters.
The unidentified man was killed by birdshot to the head, the official said, as demonstrators and police lobbed rocks at each other on a bridge and in an underpass leading to Tahrir Square and tear gas hung heavily in the air.
Egypt in turmoil
Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi is waiting for the opposition to take up his dialogue offer.
In the meantime, thousands of young people have assembled on a bridge near Cairo?s Tahrir Square to mark two years since a mass prayer by anti-Mubarak demonstrators there persuaded police to stop their water cannon attack.
On Sunday, President Morsi declared a state of emergency in three provinces. Overnight, however, thousands of people defied the curfew and took to the streets.
