</div>On
25th January 2011 the capital city of a hitherto quiet country was
described as “a war zone”. Cairo the capital of Egypt saw frequent violent
clashes. Protestors began what became known as the Arab spring. These demonstrations started in Tunisia,
and caught up with Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, Jordan, Syria, and Libya. The
revolution in Egypt was characterized by demonstrations, marches, strikes and

Politics is intertwined with religious beliefs.<o:p></o:p>Judges
have a stake in upholding freedom of speech and free elections. The Courts have to operate
