An Egyptian court has banned all activities of the Muslim Brotherhood and its spinoff groups and ordered its assets to be seized. The group has 10 days to appeal the ban. It comes as part of a crackdown on supporters of ousted President Mohamed Morsi by the military-backed government that has seen some 1,000 killed and 2,000 arrested, including many of the Brotherhood’s leaders. The court issued the injunction after lawyers for the leftist Tagammu party accused the Muslim Brotherhood of “terrorism.” The Brotherhood has been banned for most of its 85-year history.
