Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood Condemns Court Ruling Declaring Hamas Political Wing As Terrorist Organization

0

The Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood has issued a statement condemning the recent Egyptian court decision which declare the political wing of Hamas to be a terrorist organization. The Brotherhood statement begins by calling the decision “null and void”:

March 2, 2015 The Muslim Brotherhood deems null and void the decision by the Egyptian urgent matters court designating the Islamic Resistance Movement in Gaza (Hamas) a terrorist organization. We reject and condemn this flawed decision, its content and wording, which will not be recognized by the Egyptian and Arab peoples and all advocates of justice, humanity and freedom in the world.

The disgraceful verdict issued against Hamas which fends for the nation’s honor and identity is clear evidence of the traitorous junta’s crimes, of the military coup regime’s betrayal of the Egyptian people, the junta’s anti-Palestinian stance and its determination to fulfill all the Zionist enemy’s demands, and to adopt the enemy’s vision and agenda.

The urgent matters court judges will forever carry the shame of their absurd decision, which will be a black plot in Egypt’s history. Indeed, since the July 3, 2013 military coup, this court has been issuing verdicts and sentences by direct commands from the coup leaders. Those were invariably verdicts and sentences inconsistent with reason, justice and the common good.

Today, the court designated Hamas a terrorist organization, and before it also classified Al-Qassam Brigades as a terrorist organization, although those spare no effort, sacrificing their money and even their souls for the whole nation. Meanwhile, on April 16 (2014), the same court rejected a lawsuit that sought to prohibit any Israeli activities inside Egypt and to designate Israel a terrorist entity, siting lack of jurisdiction.

The  GMBDW reported yesterday on the Egyptian court’s ruling as well as the Hamas reaction which called it “shocking.”

Early last month, the GMBDW reported on the Egyptian court ruling tha banned the military wing of Hamas and listed it as a terrorist organization.

The Hamas charter says that it is “one of the wings of the Muslim Brothers in Palestine”
