Egypt court dismisses appeal against Brotherhood ban
An appeal court in Cairo has dismissed an appeal against a ban on the Muslim Brotherhood and all its activities.
Wednesday's decision is expected to further heighten tensions between the group and the interim authorities, and to diminish chances of a rapprochement.
On 23 September, a court banned the Brotherhood, Egypt's oldest and largest Islamist organisation, and ordered the seizure of its assets and funds.
...
A lawyer from the leftist Tagammu party filed the case on the grounds of protecting Egyptians from "violence" carried out by members of the group.
