BEIJING, Nov. 23 (Xinhuanet) -- 's President Mohamed had made constitutional amendments granting him far-reaching powers. Thursday’s decisions were announced on state television by Morsi’s spokesman.

Morsi decreed immunity for the panel drafting a new constitution, making it impossible for a court to dissolve it. He granted the same protection to the upper chamber of parliament. Both bodies are dominated by Morsi’s Islamist allies.

The Egyptian leader has decreed that all decisions he made since taking office in June are not subject to appeal in court or by any other authority until a new constitution is adopted. This move places Morsi above oversight of any kind.

The President has also ordered the retrial of leaders of ’s regime for the killing of protesters in last year’s uprising.
