Egypt's present constitution dates to 1971, a High Constitutional Court created, and the Constitution modified both to make Sharia its main basis, yet to move from Nasser's socialism to a democratic model [1] When Anwar Sadat was assassinated in October 1981, Hosni Mubarrak had the Emergency Law passed. This suspended the Constitution, prohibiting public gatherings, and allowing preventive detention. Detained indviduals were not entitled to hear charges, or be tried by a military or civil process.
