EGYPT CRACKDOWNCourt bans Brotherhood, orders assets confiscated Sep 23rd 2013, 13:46 Egypt has banned the Muslim Brotherhood from carrying out activities inside the country as its interim government looks to crack down on unrest following former President Mohammed Morsi's ouster. "The court bans the activities of the Muslim Brotherhood organization and its non-governmental organization and all the activities that it participates in and any organization derived from it," judge Mohammed al-Sayed said in a statement on Monday, according to Reuters. The court also ordered the Muslim Brotherhood's assets confiscated. The Brotherhood was outlawed for most of its 85 years in existence. But after the 2011 ouster of autocrat Hosni Mubarak, it was allowed to work openly, formed a political party and rose to power in a string of post-Mubarak elections. In March, it registered as a recognized non-governmental organization. The ruling, which can be appealed, opens door for authorities to track down the group's elaborate network of social services, dealing a deadly blow to its pillars of grass-root support. Morsi was overthrown by Egypt's military on July 3. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
