As of today, December 2, 2013, the appointed fifty-member of the committee to amend the 2012 Egyptian Constitution are engaged in final voting on each article. They face a deadline to complete their work by December 3, after which it will be put to a national referendum in mid-January.

In advance of their voting, on November 26, the U.S.-based rights organization Coptic Solidarity issued a press release warning about the influence of Islamists.
