Leaders of various Islamic groups, including the Muslim Brotherhood, are no longer banned from traveling abroad after the Interior Ministry removed their names from travel ban and watch lists, sources said.
Sources told Al-Masry Al-Youm that Muslim Brotherhood General Guide Mohamed Badie and all of the group’s Guidance Bureau leaders and delegates and several members of the group’s Shura Council were removed from the lists, including several Brotherhood leaders who live abroad.
Others who had recieved court verdicts against them were not removed from the lists, but efforts are being made to annul the rulings or retry their cases.
The travel ban lists had also included leaders of Jama’a al-Islamiya such as Sheikh Karam Zuhdi and Dr. Najah Ibrahim, the group’s most prominent leaders among those who resigned two weeks ago.
The sources did not recall whether the ban was lifted for leaders of Islamic Jihad, and indicated that watch lists still some members who are living abroad. Among those still banned from travel are Ayman al-Zawahiri and leaders of the armed group living in Afghanistan, Pakistan and a number of European nations where they have political asylum or foreign citizenship.
