From the Telegraph:
A Muslim organisation involved in planning dozens of pro-Palestine marches in the UK has been designated as a terrorist group by Egypt.
The Muslim Association of Britain (MAB) is among 35 organisations and 36 individuals placed on Egypt’s terrorism list last week by the Cairo Criminal Court.
The association is a partner of the Stop the War Coalition of Left-wing groups, which have organised more than 30 protests in London and other UK cities since Hamas’s Oct 7 2023 attacks on Israel….
It follows a similar designation of the MAB as a terrorist group by the United Arab Emirates.
Egypt and the UAE have an understanding of these groups. We, obviously, don’t.
Alex Hearn, a co-director of Labour Against Antisemitism, said: “It is high time the Government took firmer action against the Muslim Association of Britain and looked at designation seriously, especially given that countries in the Middle East have now taken this step.”
