Egyptian Court Bans All Muslim Brotherhood Activities 
------------------------------------------------------


 
An Egyptian court has banned all activities of the Muslim Brotherhood
and its spinoff groups and ordered its assets to be seized. The group
has 10 days to appeal the ban. It comes as part of a crackdown on
supporters of ousted President Mohamed Morsi by the military-backed
government that has seen some 1,000 killed and 2,000 arrested, including
many of the Brotherhood's leaders. The court issued the injunction after
lawyers for the leftist Tagammu party accused the Muslim Brotherhood of
"terrorism." The Brotherhood has been banned for most of its 85-year
history.
