Dozens of Muslim Brotherhood members and supporters of President Mohamed Morsi protested against the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly. Protestors consider the assembly to be representative of Egyptian society. In return, dozens of supporters of the liberal parties, most notably al-Masryeen al-Ahrar party, demanded the dissolution of the assembly. Protestors accused the Islamic factions of seeking to monopolize all state institutions. Presenter, Male #1 The administrative court decided to hold a session tomorrow to review the court's request. This comes after demands were put forth by Muslim Brotherhood lawyers during the session, under the pretext that the court had previously reviewed the request. The Muslim Brotherhood started to mobilize its members in the early morning hours in front of the court's headquarters, which witnessed heavy security deployment, according to Egyptian media outlets. This comes one day after members of the assembly held a press conference to assure that they will respect the administrative court. Our correspondent Attia Nabil has the details. Reporter, Male #2 This is part of the work conducted by the review committees of the Constituent Assembly tasked with drafting the new Egyptian constitution. These committees are continuing to function despite the ambiguities surrounding the work of the Constituent Assembly, which is waiting for a verdict from the administrative court regarding an appeal over its formation. In anticipation of the Supreme Administrative Court's ruling, President Mohamed Morsi approved a law entailing the formation of the Constituent Assembly. The law was issued by the People's Assembly only two days after a verdict was issued to dissolve the assembly itself. Guest, Male #3 (Tahrwat Shalibin, Chief Judicial Editor) This cuts the road short to appeal the decision, because it is now law. There are no other ways except to file a litigation that this law is unconstitutional. The law was ratified yesterday by the president of the republic. The law will then head to the constitutional court and get tied up in a legal battle. With that, the state will then face a legislative battle with the military council. The president needs to reclaim his legislative authorities. Reporter, Male #2 In a press conference held by the Constituent Committee office, there were confirmations that the committee will continue its work regardless of the judicial decisions, because the committee was not formed to engage in this legal battle. The committee noted that it nearly completed settling most issues regarding the drafting of the new constitution, despite the presence of some outstanding differences. Reporter, Male #2 The executive committee of the constitutional assembly assured that it will complete its work before the six-month period set by the constitutional declaration. Also, the final draft of the constitution will include new articles that were added for the first time in the Egyptian constitution, especially those related to freedom of circulating information and seeking authorities of other religions when it comes to civil administrative cases. Reporter, Male #2 Desperate attempts are being made by members of the Constituent Assembly of the Constitution in anticipation of the administrative court's verdict over the dissolution of the assembly and the formation of a new committee to draft Egypt's post-revolution constitution. But these attempts are colliding with a large number of laws and legislation, as well as a constitutional declaration which may further complicate the issue.
