Description
Egyptians are due to begin voting on Saturday on the country's controversial draft constitution.
The referendum has prompted angry protests from the opposition, who say that the document does not guarantee equal rights for all citizens, and that it gives religion a greater role in the functioning of the state than it should have.
Supporters, however, disagree, saying that rights of all are guaranteed by the document.
