An Egyptian court on Saturday ordered the dissolution of the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), the political arm of the embattled Muslim Brotherhood group.
The court issued a final ruling to dissolve the FJP, according to Anadolu Agency reporter.
Launched in 2011, the FJP swept elections for both chambers of parliament in Egypt's first post-revolution polls following the 2011 ouster of long-serving president Hosni Mubarak.
On September 23, Egypt's court of urgent matters ordered the dissolution of the Muslim Brotherhood Society and the banning of the group's activities.
Saturday's verdict comes amid a sustained crackdown on supporters of ousted president Mohamed Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood group following Morsi's ouster by the army last year.
