Discouraging news from Egypt as Coptic Christians have removed themselves from the constitutional creation process, citing futility in securing religious freedom rights. The Washington Post reports:
The state news agency MENA reported Monday that the church called its
participation “futile” under the current makeup of the panel, dominated
by Islamists.
...
Some 25 public figures and liberals have
pulled out of the body, saying it is fails to represent the country’s
diversity and does not have enough constitutional experts.
