Egypt's Committee of 50, charged with drafting the new Egyptian constitution, received delegations of various sectors of the population, such as war veterans, Nubians, the disabled, and Copts. In September, a delegation of Coptic youth met the committee and proposed amendments pertaining to religious rights of minorities. The youth said that the committee's Article 47 amendment, which provided for freedom of belief for Christians and Jews, in addition to Muslims, was insufficient, as it did not consider the rights of Bahais, non-monotheistic religions, like Eastern religions, or atheists.
