add some basic information about protests
Mubarak has been criticized for his persecution of the [[Coptic Church]], and for his government's twenty nine year state of emergency, which allows him to imprison and hold his political opponents indefinitely without trial and cancel elections. During the presidency of [[George Bush]], Secretary of State [[Condoleeza Rice]] called for the state of emergency to be lifted and and the Mubarak regime to commit itself to democracy.

Since January 25, 2011, protests against Mubarak's rule have continued. Although the forces behind the movement are not entirely clear, it is likely that the protest is led by groups such as the radical [[Islamist]] [[Muslim Brotherhood]] and [[Iran]]. [[Liberal]]s claim that [[Mohammed ElBaradei]], one of the protest leaders, is a moderate, but many experts agree that the rebellion aims to install [[Sharia]] law and a government opposed to [[Israel]] and the [[United States]].
