CAIRO - A judicial council entrusted with proposing constitutional changes to allow free and fair elections in Egypt has nearly finished its work, Egypt's official Middle East News Agency quoted its chairman as saying on Saturday.
The council was formed by Egypt's military rulers on Tuesday and given 10 days to draw up the proposals, which will be put to a referendum. Tareq al-Bishry, the head of the committee, expects "the completion of the amendments within the coming few days", the state news agency quoted him as saying. Bishry said he would give a public progress report on Sunday.
