Egypt's parliament, judiciary face off against each other

The Egyptian parliament is currently discussing a draft law to amend judicial law, which legal experts say will infringe on the judiciary’s independence.

Egypt's Constitutional Court said it will rule on March 1 whether the country's election law is constitutional, a verdict that could alter the schedule of the upcoming parliamentary polls.
