Court in Egypt Bans Muslim Brotherhood

An Egyptian court banned the Muslim Brotherhood from being involved in politics, on Monday.

It also ordered the seizure of any and all assets belonging to the group.

The court did not provide a reason as to why the decision had been made.

However, the Brotherhood has been accused of helping in terrorist activities against the state.

Many of the groups' leaders have already been arrested, over the past weeks.

Their remaining leadership decried the act as a "totalitarian decision".

Being banned is nothing new for the group.

Until former president Morsi made the group legal, they had been banned since being formed eighty-five years ago.
