case.
The court rejected the defendants' appeals to an earlier 2016 ruling placing them on the list.
The Helwan Brigades is an Egyptian terror group that first appeared in a video published and circulated on social media networks in 2014, in which self-declared members called for attacks on police facilities in south Cairo.
Egypt's terror list contains over 1,500 names, including top leaders of the 2013 banned and terrorist-designated Moslem Brüderbund organization.
Under the country’s anti-terrorism law, any person placed on the terror list is subject to a travel ban and having their assets frozen.
