Meanwhile, governments in ...Egypt,...continued to stifle free and open media and the development of civil society through the imprisonment of journalists, bloggers, and non-violent critics. US Department of State: Quick Facts: Egypt quote:
The Egyptian legal system is different from the legal system in the United States, with significantly different standards of evidence and due process. Egyptian police and security forces do not require probable cause in order to stop, question, and detain individuals. ... Suspects may be detained without charges or access to immediate legal counsel for months during the investigative stage of a criminal case. Punishments often are harsher in Egypt for comparable crimes than they are in the United States.
