UK probe into Muslim Brotherhood

Tuesday, 1 April 2014


Prime Minister David Cameron has commissioned a review of the Muslim Brotherhood's UK activity, No 10 says. The Muslim Brotherhood is an Egyptian political organisation, which Cairo has declared a terrorist group. Recent press reports have suggested members have moved to London to escape the crackdown in Egypt, where the group backs ousted president Mohammed Morsi. Number 10 said the review would examine the group's philosophy and activities, and the government's policy towards it. The Egyptian political organisation's backing installed Mr Morsi as the country's first civilian president but he was ousted in a military coup last year after widespread street protests, according to BBC.
