Egypt's opposition parties are calling for people to protest on Friday, to demand new electoral laws be changed.

Around 60 parties from across the political spectrum say they're not happy with restrictions on how many seats can be contested in November's election.
 
They're threatening to boycott the poll if more seats aren't made available. 
 
The opposition bloc wants its supporters to join a rally already being planned for Friday - in which people are also expected to call for Egypt's military rulers to end the country's emergency laws .
