Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood lost an appeal against a court decision to ban the group, Al Arabiya’s Cairo correspondent reported Wednesday.

The verdict bans all of the group’s activities and includes seizing its funds.

Earlier in September, an Egyptian court ordered a ban on the group following the military-led ouster of Islamist President Mohammad Mursi on July 3.
