The Court of Cassation on Wednesday rejected an appeal by top leaders of the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood group against their placement on "terror list".

Eighteen top leaders of the group, including the supreme guide of the Muslim Brotherhood Mohamed Badie, were listed as "terrorist" by a Prosecutor General decision in March.

The decision was the first implementation of anti-terrorism legislation officially issued in February.

It was based on a final court verdict issued against the 18 individuals for deadly violence that took place outside the Brotherhood’s headquarters in 2013.
