Egypt passed a bill which could protect military officers from prosecution related to the overthrow of President Mohamed Morsi.
The bill grants President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi the right to give eligible officers rewards, including immunity from investigation to offences committed in the period between Morsi’s overthrow to el-Sisi’s presidency.
The bill is still in draft, and requires another parliament session and the president’s final approval before it can become a law.
