Egyptians voted for constitutional changes

lundi 20 janvier 2014 à 13:00

98% of Egyptians voted for constitutional changes, which combine greater rights for women with greater power for the suppression forces.

I have no knowledge with which to weigh the good of the former against the bad of the latter, but I would guess that the Egyptian constitution still fails to defend human rights, including the right to change one's position regarding religion (including ceasing to be a Muslim) and the right to criticize or mock any idea (including, for instance, Islam).

The one-sided result convinces me that charges of intimidation are valid.
