Jordan’s interior minister on Wednesday announced that the kingdom was banning the Muslim Brotherhood and promoting its “ideology” was now illegal.

Mazin Abdellah Hilal al-Farrayeh declared a total ban on the group in a press briefing, saying that “any activity by the group, regardless of its nature, is considered a violation of the law”.

The Muslim Brotherhood’s offices and premises will now be shut down, and their assets confiscated, he added.

Farrayeh said that affiliation and any interaction with the group is now banned and that promotion of its "ideology" will result in criminal prosecution.

"Legal measures will be taken against any individual or entity proven to be involved in criminal activities linked to the declared cases or the dissolved group," he said.
