Egypt Permanently Lists Muslim Brotherhood as Terrorist Entity
What happened
Egypt's Public Prosecution permanently placed the Muslim Brotherhood on the country's list of terrorist entities, replacing previous time-limited designations. The decision, issued by the Office for Regulating Lists of Terrorist Entities and Terrorists, also permanently listed three individuals following final court convictions. Under Law 8/2015, the designation prohibits the Brotherhood's activities, meetings, and fundraising.

Why it matters
The permanent listing mandates the freezing of assets owned or controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood, including those held indirectly. It also prohibits the organization from fundraising and requires the closure of its premises.
The Muslim Brotherhood has been removed from power in Egypt and is accused of using media platforms to spread fake news and conduct media attacks against Egypt.
