The Supreme Constitutional Court decided in its session held on Saturday to delay until December 3 looking into an appeal filed by lawyer Tarek el Awadi and others that the law regulating the right to protest is unconstitutional.
The court set December 3 as a date to announce a verdict in a similar lawsuit against the protest law.
The appeal challenged items eight and 10 of the protest law that stipulated necessity of notification before holding a demonstration as well as discretion granted to the interior minister to ban protests or delay it in case of any security threats.
The second appeal against items seven and 19 of the same law challenged criminalizing participation in a protest that would pose a threat to security and harm peoples’ interest or block traffic.
The prison term recommended for offenders in this case is at least one year and a minimum fine of EGP 50,000.
