Egyptian court bans Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood

September 24, 2013 01:50

An Egyptian court has banned the Muslim Brotherhood and ordered its funds seized, a crippling strike in the campaign to crush the Islamist movement along with support for deposed president Mohamed Morsi.

The case against the Brotherhood was brought by a lawyer from the leftist Tagammu party on the grounds of protecting Egyptians from violence.

It was not stated if he was acting at the instigation of the military-backed government, which has launched one of the fiercest crackdowns against the group in decades.
