Egyptian authorities shut Muslim Brotherhood's newspaper headquarters

Egyptian authorities have closed the headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice newspaper in Cairo.

On its Facebook page, the Brotherhood condemned the security forces for closing down the ehadquaters of the newspaper.

According to Dawn News, police stormed the building and removed the contents.

A source at the Cairo Security Department said the raid followed after a court ruling, which banned the Brotherhood and ordered its funds seized.

The newspaper, named after the Brotherhood's political wing, had focused on efforts to reverse what it called a military coup against an elected government, the report added.
