Egypt court bans all Muslim Brotherhood activities nationwide, orders to confiscate their assets.(RT).

An Egyptian court has banned all activities of the Muslim Brotherhood in the country. Its assets will also be confiscated according to the court ruling.

"The court bans the activities of the Muslim Brotherhood organization and its non-governmental organization and all the activities that it participates in and any organization derived from it," said the presiding judge Mohammed Sayed.

The court also ruled the organization, in operation since 1928, should be disbanded.

The Brotherhood was outlawed for most of its 85 years in existence.

But after the 2011 ouster of autocrat Hosni Mubarak, it was allowed to work openly, formed a political party and rose to power in a string of post-Mubarak elections.

In March, it registered as a recognized non-governmental organization.More here.
