One of the most prominent pro-democracy activists in Egypt has been put on a terrorism list, along with more than 20 others, accused of having joined the Muslim Brotherhood.

Alaa Abdel-Fattah was one of the key figures in the uprising that drove Hosni Mubarak from power in 2011.

He has since served a five year jail sentence and is currently back in detention after being re-arrested in September as the authorities mounted a new campaign in response to small-scale government protests.

A well-known Islamist politician, Adel-Monaem Abul Fetouh, is also among those put on a terrorism list for the next five years.
