BREAKING: Egypt court upholds removal of Prosecutor-General Abdullah Assistant prosecutor-general Hassan Yassin to take over position until Supreme Judicial Council makes official appointment
A Cairo appeal court has rejected an appeal by Talaat Abdullah against the annulment of his appointment as prosecutor-general. The court also rejected former prosecutor-general Abdel-Meguid Mahmoud's appeal to be reinstated to the post. Assistant prosecutor-general Hassan Yassin will hold the top position untilEgypt's Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) convenes to make an official appointment. In March, a court reversed President Mohamed Morsi's November 2012 decision to appoint Abdullah in Mahmoud's place via a controversial constitutional declaration. Judicial critics said only the SJC has the power to appoint the prosecutor-general and therefore President Morsi had acted beyond his mandate when appointing Abdullah to the post. http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/75472.aspx
