Egypt Suspends Panel Tasked with Writing New Constitution

The decision is seen as a blow to the Muslim Brotherhood
A court in Egypt suspended a panel tasked with writing a new constitution. The panel was the subject of a boycott by liberals, moderate liberals and others who oppose the Muslim Brotherhood. Critics of the panel's makeup claimed that the body was stacked with members of the Muslim Brotherhood, and said the system for electing representatives to the panel favored the majority party too much.
