Today, Saturday, an Egyptian court decided to include Abdullah Shehata, advisor to the late President Mohamed Morsi, and 20 other people on terrorist lists.
According to what was reported by Egyptian newspapers, including the state-owned Al-Ahram, a court in southern Cairo decided to include Shehata and 20 others (unnamed) on those lists for a period of 5 years.
She explained that these defendants were previously convicted of prison terms of up to life imprisonment on the background of accusations including "joining a group founded in contravention of the law," without elaborating further details.
Earlier, Al-Youm Al-Sabea newspaper reported in late January that the number of people listed on terrorist lists in Egypt rose to 6602 and 8 groups, according to a census that included 35 judicial decisions from 2016 to January 24, 2021.
Among the most prominent people on those lists are Muhammad Badi ', the mentor of the Muslim Brotherhood, and Abdel Moneim Abul-Fotouh, head of the Strong Egypt Party.
The Inclusion Law establishes a period of time for characterizing a person as a terrorist or a terrorist group, with the possibility of its recurrence, and entails measures, including travel bans and confiscation of funds.
