Constituent Assembly to discuss freedoms next week

The Constituent Assembly held a closed meeting Sunday to choose a date next week to discuss the Drafting Committee's submission of the stipulated rights and freedoms in the new constitution.

The state-run MENA news agency quoted assembly member Manar al-Shorbagy as saying next week's meeting would be a plenary discussion and not a vote. She said that members would be asked to comment on the draft before the discussion begins.

The System of Government Committee also held a closed meeting to discuss the transfer of military justice to ordinary courts, issues associated with the executive power, and the quota of workers and farmers in Parliament.
