Egypt’s upper house ruled illegal

PanARMENIAN.Net - Egypt's top court has ruled that the upper house, or Shura Council, and a panel that drafted the new constitution are invalid, BBC News reported.

The Supreme Constitutional Court ruled that the laws governing the election of members of the Islamist-dominated Shura Council and the constitutional panel were illegal.

But the court said the Shura would only be dissolved after new elections.

Egypt has faced a string of court cases challenging official institutions.
