A Cairo court has upheld a freeze on the assets of 29 members of the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's largest opposition movement.

The public prosecutor ordered the freeze on January 28 after accusing the 29 of money laundering and other offences.

The Muslim Brotherhood has dismissed the decision as a politically motivated attempt to disrupt the organisation's activities on Wednesday.

The members include Khairat el-Shatir, the most senior Brotherhood member detained in a government crackdown in December.
