CAIRO: Egypt added on Saturday 13 people, including former lawmaker Zyad al-Elaimy, on the country’s "terrorism list" for collaborating with the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood.
The decision, published in the official gazette, stated that their "placement on the terrorism list will be for a period of five years".
Elaimy -- a key figure of Egypt’s 2011 popular uprising that toppled longtime president Hosni Mubarak -- was arrested in June 2019.
Also put on the list was Ramy Shaath, a prominent activist and the son of veteran Palestinian politician Nabil Shaath, who holds Egyptian citizenship and was arrested two months after Elaimy. Since their arrest, the pair have been charged with joining a "terrorist group" -- namely the Brotherhood which has been outlawed following the 2013 overthrow of Islamist president Mohamed Mursi.
