Egypt extends state of emergency for 3 months

Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi extended on Tuesday the nationwide state of emergency for another three months, according to the country’s official gazette.

In a presidential decree, al-Sisi justified the move, saying that the country faces “dangerous” conditions in the fields of health and security.

The state of emergency allows the authorities to take exceptional measures, including the referral of terrorism suspects to state security courts, the imposition of curfews, and the censoring of newspapers.
