Higher Constitutional Court rejects dissolution of political parties

The Supreme Administrative Court ruled against the dissolution of the Salafist Nour Party and other parties that spawned from religious organizations after the 2011 uprising this week, various media reports said. While the exact parameters of the verdicts are unclear, the court appears to have dismissed the lawsuits for not being raised by an entity with legal standing to do so, such as the State Council’s Political Party Affairs Committee, according to Akhbar Al Youm.
