Jama’a al-Islamiya plans to protest new protest law
The conservative Islamist group Jama’aal-Islamiya has called for protests against the restrictive new bill regulating protests, which is expected to be signed into law next week, reported on Thursday the independent Al-Shorouk newspaper.
The Cabinet is reportedly planning to approve the bill before November 14, which marks the end of the state of emergency declared by the Armed Forces after former President Mohamed Morsi was forcibly removed from office on July 3, said Al-Shorouk.
Alaa Abdel Nasr — the secretary general of the Construction and Development Party, Jama’a al-Islamiya’s political arm — said the group would begin protesting against the law as soon as it was passed. The law amounts to nothing more than a harsh alternative to the state of emergency, he claimed.
