Alexandria Court for Urgent Matters has set 12 February to decide on designating the 6 April movement as a “terrorist organisation”, according to a Tuesday statement by the Coalition to Support Tahya Masr (Long Live Egypt) fund
The organisation’s legal adviser Tarek Mahmoud said that the lawsuit is filed based on riots, banditry, disrupting transportation and incitement against the army and the military institution.
Mahmoud accused the 6 April movement of working on overthrowing state institutions, particularly the military institution. He also used the fact that the founder of the 6 April movement Ahmed Maher is currently in prison facing charges that include rioting, inciting violence and banditry, in addition to other charges accusing him of collaborating with foreign intelligence.
