The Cairo Criminal Court blacklisted 187 members and supporters of the banned Muslim Brotherhood group for five years, including hardline cleric Wagdy Ghunaim Wagdy Ghoneim, TV hosts Moataz Matar, and Mohamed Nasser who fled Egypt to Qatar and Turkey. The court also ordered to put the Brotherhood and its affiliate “Hasm Vanguards” militant group on the list of terrorist entities. According to Egypt’s regulations on terror activities issued in 2015, blacklisting any group or person for terror activities is automatically followed by freezing belonging assets and funds and a travel ban. Persons listed by criminal courts on the list of terrorists are entitled to challenge the decision before the Court of Cassation, the countrys highest civil court. On the other hand, the Criminal Court of Cairo decided yesterday to postpone the trial of 213 defendants accused of belonging to terror organizations. The defendants face charges of over 54 terrorist crimes, including the killing of police officers, an assassination attempt on the former Interior Minister Mohamed Ibrahim Moustafa, and bombing security installations in a number of provinces, particularly the buildings of the directorates of security Cairo, Dakahlia and South Sinai. The decision to postpone came in order to hold further hearing and testimonial sessions. Egyptian prosecution explained that the blacklisted figures and entities were involved in plans for toppling the regime through anti-state campaigns, blasts and assassinations as well as attacks against policemen, soldiers and vital institutions inside the country. Morsi was removed by the army in July 2013 in response to mass protests against his one-year rule. Later, a security crackdown on his supporters left hundreds dead and thousands arrested. Since Morsis ouster and detention, Egypt has faced a wave of terror activities that left hundreds of policemen, soldiers and civilians dead. A Sinai-based group affiliated with ISIS claimed responsibility for most of the terror attacks in Egypt. Meanwhile, the Egyptian military and police killed hundreds of militants and arrested thousands of suspects as part of the countrys anti-terror war declared by President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi, following Morsis removal.
