Egypt's Ministry of Social Solidarity decided on Wednesday to dissolve the Muslim Brotherhood as a non- governmental organization (NGO), official news agency MENA reported.

The ministry in charge of granting licenses to NGOs will later hold a press conference to disclose further details.

On Tuesday, a cabinet committee ordered to remove the Brotherhood group from a government list of accredited non- governmental organizations (NGOs).

Earlier, a Cairo court ordered to ban the group's activities, seize its funds and form a panel to administer its assets.
