Egyptian authorities decided Monday to freeze 16 hospitals across the nation, owned by members of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood (MB), according to Youm7 news. Chairman of the inventory commission, Chancellor Ezzat Khamis previously explained that the commission's decisions depend on the investigations' results carried out by Egypt's Homeland Security which approved that the suspects had illegally funded terrorist acts in favor of MB. In September 2013, the Cairo Court for Urgent Matters ruled to ban all activities of the Muslim Brotherhood, freeze its funds, and form a commission to manage the group's assets so that no money could be used to fund terror attacks against citizens and governmental buildings. The Muslim brotherhood was ousted from power in July 2013 following a popular uprising against their regime on June 30. Islamist president Mohamed Morsi was arrested and placed in jail alongside other MB leaders, where they face charges of corruption and murdering peaceful protesters.
