Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood failed in an attempt on Wednesday to overturn a court ruling banning it, the state news agency said, another blow to the debilitated Islamist movement.
A court in September outlawed the Brotherhood after the army overthrew President Mohamed Mursi in July following mass protests against his rule.
The case against his Brotherhood was brought by a lawyer from the leftist Tagammu party, which cited the need to protect Egyptians from violence.
It accompanied a campaign by security forces to crush the Islamist movement in which hundreds of its members have been killed, thousands arrested, and its leaders, including Mursi, put on trial.
