Egypt to hold December referendum on new constitution
President Mohammed Morsi has called for Egypt's new draft
constitution to be put to a referendum on 15 December.
He made the announcement before the Islamist-dominated constituent assembly,
which rushed to approve the document earlier in the week.
Both the draft constitution and a recent decree giving Mr Morsi sweeping new
powers have prompted widespread protests by opponents of the president.
However, his Islamist supporters held their own demonstrations on
Saturday.
