CAIRO, Jul 25 (Aswat Masriya) - Egyptian Islamic preacher Mohamed Jibiril filed a lawsuit at the administrative court against Egypt's president, premier, interior minister and top prosecutor on Saturday to reverse a decision banning him from travel.

Jibiril was stopped from boarding a flight to the United Kingdom on July 15 "as per instructions from a security body," airport security sources told Aswat Masriya. 

The incident was one day after the ministry of religious endowments banned Jibril from leading prayers in mosques as an Imam or from delivering any religious lessons.  

The ministry filed a complaint against him for making use of prayers for political purposes, after Jibril made prayers against "oppressors" and those who corrupt while leading prayer on a night of the Islamic month of Ramadan. 

Jibril said in the lawsuit that his prayer was "general", describing the travel-ban issued against him as "a violation of the constitution."

During Ramadan, imams leading prayers at night read supplications out loud. Jibril is known for his nice voice and poetic manner of reading out supplications.
