Egypt youth group ban ‘useless’

A court in the Egyptian capital Cairo has banned the activities of the opposition April 6 youth movement. The court issued the ruling based on a complaint that accused the group of defaming the country and spying. The movement was instrumental in organising protests that toppled former President Hosni Mubarak in 2011. Mohamed Kamal is a member.
