Egypt puts more than 350 people on terrorism list
None
CAIRO – Egypt has put the names of more than 350 people, including prominent Muslim Brotherhood figures, on its terrorism list.
The designation, announced over two days this week in the government's official Gazette, bans those on the list from travel, puts them on a watch list and grants authorities the right to freeze their assets.
Authorities have launched a severe crackdown on Muslim Brotherhood members and supporters since former President Mohammed Morsi's ouster in 2013 following mass protests against his divisive, one-year rule. The Sunni Islamist organization was founded in Egypt.
