CAIRO (Reuters) - An Egyptian judicial panel advised a court to dissolve the Muslim Brotherhood as a legally registered non-governmental organisation on Monday, posing a legal challenge to the group as the army-backed government presses a crackdown.
The case brought by Brotherhood opponents is seeking the dissolution of the NGO registered by the movement in March. The court hearing the case set its next session for November 12, judicial sources said.
The movement behind deposed President Mohamed Mursi formally registered itself as an NGO in response to a lawsuit that argued that it had no legal status.
The Brotherhood was founded in 1928 and formally dissolved by Egypt's army rulers in 1954. The judicial panel's recommendation is not binding on the court.
