Egypt Adds Council of European Muslims and 35 Affiliated Entities to Terror Lists
The ruling adds Europe-linked Muslim organizations and 36 individuals to Egypt’s terrorism lists, triggering asset freezes, activity bans and other legal measures.
- On Tuesday, November 10, the Cairo Criminal Court designated 35 organizations and 36 individuals linked to the Muslim Brotherhood on Egypt's terrorism lists for five years, according to a ruling published in the Official Gazette.
- Invoking Law No. 8 of 2015, the court extended Egypt's counterterrorism framework, building on the initial 2013 designation of the Brotherhood following the removal of former President Mohamed Morsi from power.
- Targeted entities include the Council of European Muslims and various national associations across Europe, while listed individuals face asset freezes, travel bans, and bars from holding public-sector positions.
- While the court's decision imposes immediate restrictions within Egypt, foreign enforcement remains dependent on the independent laws and procedures of international authorities, as the ruling lacks automatic extraterritorial application.
- Following an October 8, 2026, European Parliament resolution calling for assessments of Brotherhood-linked groups, interested parties may challenge the designation before the Court of Cassation within 60 days of publication.
