Egypt's supreme court dissolves parliament
2012-06-15 Vatican Radio
Egypt's supreme court ruled yesterday to dissolve the Islamist-led parliament, while also annuling a law which would have kept Mubarak’s last Prime Minister from contesting a run-off election for president scheduled in two days.
The Muslim Brotherhood said the court rulings indicated Egypt was heading into "very difficult days”.
For demonstrators, the court descision is seen as a reversal of the revolution last year which swept Hosni Mubarak from office last year.
