Egypt: Muslim Brothers Gather to Support Mursi's Decision

9 July 2012

The Muslim Brotherhood will participate in a million-man march on Tuesday to express their support for President Mohamed Mursi's decision to reinstate parliament, said Brotherhood's Secretary General Mahmoud Hussein.

Hussein insisted that Mursi's decision came in response to popular demand and in an attempt to fulfill the goals of the revolution.

Egypt's newly-elected president decided on Sunday to halt Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi's decision to dissolve the elected Islamist-led People's Assembly.

Tantawi's decision had come in light of the Supreme Constitutional Court's ruling that the parliamentary elections law was unconstitutional.
