Egypt’s highest court has confirmed the dissolution of the country’s parliament after it was briefly reinstated by presidential order, reaffirming the judiciary’s authority at the expense of newly elected President Mohamed Mursi.
The constitutional court halted Mursi’s most significant decision since his election win about two weeks ago, effectively banning parliament from meeting again. The legislature held a brief session yesterday after Mursi’s July 8 decree that reinstated it.
