من المتوقع إضافة فقرة إلى نص المادة الخامسة من الدستور تقضي بعدم السماح لأي فصيل بممارسة أي نشاط ديني أو سياسي أو قيام الأحزاب على أساس ديني
This is from an article on the proposed Egyptian constitutional amendments...so فصيل here is referring to organizations like the Brotherhood, specifically after the Al-Azhar militia incident.

faction
A political faction is presently an informal grouping of individuals, especially within a political organization, such as a political party, a trade union, or other group with some kind of political purpose (referred to in this article as the “broader organisation”)... The individuals within a faction are united in one common goal or set of common goals for the broader organisation, not shared by all of that broader organisation's members. They band together as a way of achieving these goals and advancing their own position with the broader organisation.

: I think that "faction" expresses better the meaning of the amendment as it refers to the the group that opposes some of its beliefs or activities.
