Egypt's interim President Adli Mansour issued a decree on Monday stipulating that the sentence to "insulting the president" charges be reduced to a fine of no less than 10 thousand pounds and not exceeding 30 thousand pounds.

Mansour also issued a presidential decree ordering the restructure of the state-run National Council for Human Rights.

The new board members of the human rights body will be appointed through the interim cabinet headed by Hazem el-Beblawi, reported the state news agency.

The human rights council would remain in its current form up until a new parliament house is elected, the agency clarified.
