The House of Representatives approved on Tuesday amendments to the Protest Law which were put in place last December after the Constitutional Court ruled that various articles of the law were contrary to the Constitution. The Constitutional Court made a number of declarations regarding the law, and had said that these recommendations will be published in the Official Gazette. In the court ruling, the Constitutional Court declared Article 10 unconstitutional. The court, however, did uphold Article 8, which states that protesters should notify officials prior to staging a protest. The Protest Law was issued in late November 2013 by interim president Adly Mansour.
