European Parliament backs terror listing for Muslim Brotherhood
Original: European Parliament votes in favour of putting Muslim Brotherhood on terror list
The European Parliament has voted in favour of placing the Muslim Brotherhood on the EU's list of terrorist organisations. The vote is non-binding but increases pressure on the European Council and member states, which hold the actual power to impose sanctions. Supporters argue the movement poses a security threat, while critics warn the designation could criminalise legitimate political activity and damage EU engagement with the Arab world.
Why now: A major EU institution has just backed a contentious counter-terrorism move that could reshape relations with Muslim-majority countries and civil society groups.
