Egypt Adds Council of European Muslims and 35 Affiliated Entities to Terror Lists
The ruling expands Egypt’s counterterrorism measures to cross-border Muslim Brotherhood-linked groups and imposes asset freezes, travel bans and other sanctions on listed people.
- On Tuesday, November 10, 2026, the Cairo Criminal Court designated 35 entities and 36 individuals as terrorists for five years, with the decision published in the Egyptian Gazette issue #250.
- Expanding Egypt's counterterrorism framework, the decision reflects growing international scrutiny of the Muslim Brotherhood and marks a shift toward permanent-style designations for the group's affiliates.
- The designated list includes 35 organizations such as the Council of European Muslims and various national associations, alongside religious, educational, and research institutions operating across national borders.
- Under Egyptian law, the designations trigger prohibition of activities, closure of premises, freezing of financial assets, and travel bans for all listed individuals and organizations.
- While the ruling carries legal force within Egypt, international application remains limited as foreign governments must independently decide whether to cooperate or adopt similar restrictions.
