Curfew eased in Egyptian cities

Egypt on Wednesday said it was easing a curfew slapped on three cities including Cairo since Friday amid raging protests against President Hosni Mubarak, state television announced.

The curfew in Cairo, Alexandria and Suez was reduced from 3:00 pm to 8:00 am to 5:00 pm to 7:00 am, giving Egyptians three more hours of freedom of movement.

Egyptian authorities have extended and eased the curfew day by day since it was announced, although it has not been widely respected.
