Egypt’s Cassation court recommended on Saturday the refusal of an appeal from the supreme guide of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood Mohamed Badi and number of defendants, for the verdict that stipulated to put them on terrorist lists, in the case known as the “Rabaa’s sit-in operating room”. The refusal of the appeal came after Cairo Criminal Court decided to include Badi and others in the case of “Rabaa’ sit-in operating room” on the terrorist list, preventing them from traveling. Egypt listed the Brotherhood as a terrorist organisation in December 2013. The state suspects the Brotherhood of being behind the violent wave of militancy which has targeted security personnel since mid-2013. Several churches across the country were attacked after security forces dispersed supporters of the pro-Muslim Brotherhood president Mohamed Morsi on August 14, 2013.
