Egypt adds Muslim Association of Britain to terrorism list while it remains legal in UK
Egypt has added the Muslim Association of Britain (MAB) and two of its senior figures to its terrorism list, while the organisation remains free to operate in the UK. The decision has prompted calls for the British Government to review MAB’s links and activities.
MAB has helped organise more than 30 pro-Palestine marches in the UK since Hamas’s 7 October 2023 attack on Israel. Egypt’s list names former MAB president Anas Altikriti and senior figure Ahmed al-Rawi, whose past remarks about the attack and armed resistance are cited in the article. MAB was co-founded in 1997 by former Hamas chief Muhammad Kathem Sawalha.
In short
- Egypt listed MAB and two senior figures as terrorists.
- MAB remains unrestricted in Britain.
- Critics want the UK to review the group’s links.
