Report: 846 Egyptian Civilians Killed in Uprising 
--------------------------------------------------



In news from Egypt, a new government fact-finding mission is estimating
at least 846 Egyptian civilians were killed in the nearly
three-week-long popular uprising that toppled President Hosni Mubarak.
The death toll is more than twice that of previous official estimates.
Meanwhile, Amnesty International is criticizing the military council now
running Egypt. Amnesty said it has documented the continued use of
torture, arbitrary detention, trials of civilians before military
courts, and repression of freedom of expression by authorities.
