What happened in Egypt that led to the protests?

First, I had to find out what exactly the Egypt Protests were, so that I could come up with a question to research about it.

After clicking on the below link, I decided I'll be researching "What happened in Egypt that led to the protests in 2011?"

The demonstrations and riots, part of the 2010–2011 Arab world protests, started in the weeks after similar events in Tunisia, with many protesters carrying Tunisian flags as a symbol of their influence.[16] Grievances for Egyptian protesters have focused on legal and political issues[17] including police brutality,[11] state of emergency laws,[11] lack of free elections and free speech,[18] and corruption,[18] as well as economic issues including high unemployment,[19] food price inflation,[19] and low minimum wages
This Egyptian Revolution of 2011 included a series of marches, rallies, acts of civil disobedience, riots, labor strikes and violent clashes.  They began on Jan. 25th of this year.

I found a little bit of Quantitative information that I thought I would share as well.
As of 29 January, at least 105 deaths had been reported, and those injured number 750 policemen and 1,500 protesters
