Egypt adds Council of European Muslims and 35 affiliated entities to terror lists

The Cairo Criminal Court ordered the inclusion of 35 entities and 36 individuals on the lists of terrorist entities and terrorists for a period of five years, in connection with case file #11108 of 2026, Supreme State Security Prosecution records.

The decision was published in issue #250 (supplement) of the Egyptian Gazette (Al-Waqai’ al-Masriyya) on Tuesday, November 10.

The list of designated individuals comprises 36 names, including Anas Osama Tawfiq al-Tikriti, Ibrahim Farouk Mohamed al-Zayat, Abdel-Aziz Mohamed Abdel-Aziz Ibrahim, also known as Hamza Korkmaz, Hussein Mohamed Mohamed Mohamed Halawa, and Wissam al-Bardawil, among others mentioned in the decision.

The listed entities meanwhile include a number of Islamic institutions, associations, societies, and councils based in European countries.

These include the Council of European Muslims (along with its various branches), the Muslims of France foundation, the Muslim Association of Britain, the Muslim Association of Switzerland, the Islamic Community in Germany, and the Muslim Associations of Sweden and Italy, among several other entities across various European nations.

The list also included the European Council for Fatwa and Research, the European Council of Imams, the European Council for Muslim Families, the European Council for the Holy Quran, the European Council for Muslim Women, the European Muslim Students Forum, and the European Institute of Human Sciences, along with its various branches.

The inclusion of entities on terrorist lists entails the prohibition of their activities, the cessation of their operations, and the closure of their premises.

Furthermore, it prohibits the provision of funding to them—or the collection of funds and in-kind contributions on their behalf, whether directly or indirectly—and prevents them from carrying out any activities under any name.

Measures applicable to individuals included on such lists encompass the freezing of their assets, travel bans, and their placement on watchlists.

Additionally, their passports may be withdrawn or revoked, in accordance with established legal procedures.
