英语文摘:News Analysis: Egyptians debate over draft law limiting protests

Adel added that the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), the main supporter of President Mohamed Morsi, used to defend the right of expression and demonstration during the time of Mubarak, but now they call for limiting anti-Morsi protests.

The proposed law seems to be supported by Islamists, particularly the MB who denounces the nationwide protests intended by opposition on Jan. 25 against Morsi and his Islamist supporters.

Still, moderate Islamist parties including Al-Wasat (Moderation) Party voiced rejection to the intended law "due to its timing and content," stressing that the government and the legislative authority should rather be busy with vital decisive issues in Egypt's history, such as limiting minimum and maximum wages, resolving unemployment, improving health-care, among others.

However, MB leaders declined to talk much about the proposed law, arguing that it had not yet come into being.

"The law regulating demonstrations hasn't yet been officially presented and I have not seen its details to comment on it," MB spokesman Mahmoud Ghazlan told Xinhua.

For his part, MB lawyer Abdel-Moneim Abdel-Maqsood, who is also a member of the National Council for Human Rights, rejected claims that his group urged this law to protect presidency from the nationwide anti-Morsi protests intended on Jan. 25, stressing that the MB and other Islamists themselves would hold demonstrations on Jan. 25 to mark the second anniversary of toppling Mubarak with nationwide protests.
