Abu Al-Fattouh Labeled Terrorist
The Egyptian Court of Cassation has definitively classified Dr. Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh, a former presidential candidate and leader of the Strong Egypt Party, among the terrorist entity lists. This ruling bans him and other Muslim Brotherhood leaders from engaging in political activity or holding public office in the future. The decision is considered a permanent branding and effectively eliminates Aboul Fotouh from the Egyptian political scene, despite him receiving over 4 million votes in the 2012 elections and being a critic of President Abdel Fattah Sisi's regime. Human rights advocates viewed the ruling as a tactical move to eliminate trusted political figures, especially since Aboul Fotouh was expelled from the Brotherhood in 2011 and distanced himself from the Rabaa and Nahda events. He was not charged with violence or major criminal cases, even though he opposed the military coup. This verdict forms part of a broader political repression campaign that uses vague anti-terrorism laws to list opposition figures on terrorist lists without clear evidence, threatening public freedoms, undermining the credibility of the judiciary, and fueling an atmosphere of political fear in Egypt.
