World
The Cairo Criminal Court has placed 35 organisations and 36 individuals on Egypt’s lists of terrorist entities and terrorists for five years. The ruling was issued on 10 November in Case No. 11108 of 2026 and published in Egypt’s official government gazette.
The organisations named include the Council of Muslims of Europe and its branches, as well as a number of Islamic associations operating in European countries. They include Muslims of France, the Islamic Society of Britain, the Muslim Association of Switzerland, the Islamic Community in Germany, and Muslim associations in Sweden and Italy.
According to Egyptian media reports citing the published ruling, the list also includes the European Council for Fatwa and Research, the European Council of Imams, the European Council for the Muslim Family, the European Council for the Holy Quran, the European Council for Muslim Women, the European Islamic Forum for Students, and the European Institute of Human Sciences and its branches.
A separate list names 36 individuals. Their names were published in the official decision. The court ruling was issued as part of a case registered with Egypt’s Supreme State Security Prosecution under number 11108 of 2026.
The decision appeared in Issue No. 250 of Al-Waqa’i al-Misriyya, dated 10 November. The court ordered publication of the ruling, triggering the legal consequences provided for under Egyptian law for all organisations and individuals included on the lists.
The decision therefore covers not only the Council of Muslims of Europe but also dozens of affiliated or other Islamic institutions, as well as individual persons. The designation on Egypt’s lists is valid for five years. The details are based on the court ruling and reports by Egyptian news agencies.
Among the individuals named in the decision, Egyptian media identify Anas Osama al-Tikriti, Ibrahim Farouk al-Zayat, Abdel Aziz Mohamed Ibrahim, also known as Hamza Korkmaz, Hussein Mohamed Halawa and Wissam al-Bardawil.
