Egyptian judges threaten to disrupt elections unless reforms are implemented
The Daily Star - Politics - Egyptian judges threaten to disrupt elections unless reforms are implemented: "CAIRO: Egypt's judges have rallied mounting calls for political reforms, asking for a long-due separation of powers between the judicial and executive branches and threatening to disturb upcoming presidential polls. The Egyptian Judges' Club - Egypt's equivalent of a judges' union - presented a draft law to Parliament via left-wing opposition MP Abu al-Ezz al-Hariri late last month that seeks to amend the current judiciary law and guarantee their independence from the executive branch."
