Egypt's authorities partially lift decades-old state of emergency	8:25 AM
Egypt's military council said the country's decades-old state of emergency is lifted today except in cases of fighting "thuggery," and rights groups already call the move as cosmetic. "I have taken a decision to end the state of emergency, in all parts of the country, except in fighting acts of thuggery, starting on the morning of January 25, 2012," Middle-east-online.com. quoted the head of ruling military council Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi as saying. Tthe emergency law gives police wide powers of arrest and violates constitutional rights.
