An Egyptian court on
Monday ordered the Muslim Brotherhood to be banned and its assets
confiscated in a dramatic escalation of a crackdown by the
military-backed government against supporters of the ousted Islamist
president Mohammed Morsi.
The ruling opens the
door for a wider crackdown on the vast network of the Brotherhood,
which includes social organizations that have been key for building the
group's grassroots support and helping its election victories. The
verdict banned the group itself - including the official association it
registered earlier this year - as well as "any institution branching
out of it or ... receiving financial support from it," according to the
court ruling, made public on Egypt's state official news agency MENA.
