The Constitutional Court declared the unconstitutionality of Article 10 of the Protest Law on Saturday. This article would give the Ministry of Interior the right to ban protests, according to Tarek Al-Awady, a lawyer following the case. The court had also looked into another lawsuit that called for the entire Protest Law to be deemed unconstitutional, which the court rejected. Al-Awady praised the court ruling on Article 10, but added that the goal was to have the entire Protest Law declared unconstitutional. MP Haitham El-Hariri said that there is no relation between the Protest Law and the status of detainees imprisoned in protesting cases.
