The head of Al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies Amr al-Shobky expressed astonishment Wednesday that the final court ruling he recently obtained was not being implemented. The ruling entitles him to the parliament's membership, replacing Ahmed Mortada Mansour, son of Zamalek Club Chief and lawyer Mortada Mansour. Shobky told Al-Watan newpaper he is "not sure who backs Mortada Manour" against the law. "We were surprised later that the implementation of the court ruling was postponed," he added. Meanwhile, the Court of Cassation referred to the top prosecutor's office on Monday evening a claim filed by Shobky against Mansour over libel.
