Stance on army violence in Egypt On 19 December 2011, Emara held a press conference in which he justified army violence against protesters in Egypt. He blamed "evil forces [which] wanted to drag Egypt into a chaos, putting army into confrontation with the people." Responding to a journalist demanding the army apologize to Egyptian women for brutality towards female protesters, he interrupted the conference to read an intelligence brief claiming that "unknown assailants were planning to set the Parliament on fire" that day. In October of the same year, Emara also had to defend the government violent response towards protesters', who were criticizing the failure of the government to defend Copts and their churches. The incident led to the death of at least 26 people.
