Solidarity Minister Ghada Wali issued a ministerial decision to dissolve 57 NGOs affiliated to the Muslim Brotherhood on Monday. Of the 57 NGOs, 33 are located in Daqahlia, 17 in Sharqiya, 6 in Beheira and one in Kafr al-Sheikh.
Wali added in a press statement that dissolving the NGOs is in accordance with the law and court ruling that prohibits Muslim Brotherhood activities and orders the seizure of their properties.
The seized property and funds will be allocated to an NGO fund affiliated to the General Federation of Associations and NGOs, according to Wali.
In related news, Wali ordered the dissolution of 20 NGO boards in Beni Suef. New boards will be appointed shortly.
