Cairo Criminal Court places 35 entities and 36 people on Egypt’s terrorism lists for five years.

Egypt’s official gazette published a Cairo Criminal Court decision placing 35 entities on the list of terrorist entities and 36 people on the list of terrorists for five years, Asharq News reported. The ruling includes organizations and associations in several European countries, including the European Council of Muslims and Muslims of France Foundation. Okaz reported that the European institutions and associations covered are linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, without extending that description to every person listed. The Council of Senior Scholars has characterized the Brotherhood as a terrorist group that does not represent Islam. Arab News reported the Saudi Foreign Ministry’s position that the Kingdom condemns extremism and terrorism and supports Arab countries’ security, stability and prosperity. These Saudi positions are separate from the court’s decision, not a response to or endorsement of it.
