'''Hosni Mubarak''' was the longtime president of [[Egypt]] from 1981-2011, and the fourth man to hold the office.

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.
