    Muslims Brotherhood smashed a courtroom

     
    Since the early hours on Tuesday, thousands of supporters to Muslim Brotherhood and Salafies surrounded the administrative court on each side and smashed the courtroom refusing the court ruling to suspend the current formation of the Constituent Assembly to draft the Constitution. The Judges were fearful for their lives and decided to postpone their decision to Thursday after they requested protection from the Army. Hardliner Islamists want to control the assembly to ensure the constitution of Egypt will implement Sharia law and add text that contains "the State's obligation “Egypt” must recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Palestine”

    Last April the court suspended the country's 100-member constitutional assembly citing it did not reflect the diversity of the Egyptian society and was highly dominated by Islamists (Salafies and Muslims Brotherhood). Muslims Brotherhood formed a second assembly again which was highly dominated by Islamists and today the court was expected to suspend the assembly again for the same reasons.

    The administrative court contributed to the revolution of January 25 by its provisions, their rulings included invalidity of the 2010 parliamentary election, and the expulsion of university guards of the Ministry of Interior from Egyptian universities, it also protected the revolution by its judiciary provisions, which include resolving the National Party of the old regime, proving that administrative judiciary is completely independent.
