Osh/Bishkek, December 26, Interfax - The propaganda of religious organizations banned in Kyrgyzstan is gaining momentum in the Internet, head of the southern section of the State Commission for Religious Affairs with the Kyrgyz government Kambaraly Uzakov has said.
"It is much easier for them to deliver their literature through the Internet and increasingly difficult for the police to stop its spread," he said.
"Out of the eight religious movements banned in Kyrgyzstan Hizb ut-Tahrir is conducting the most active operations," he said.
Uzakov noted that while in the past these banned organizations advertised their operations by distributing magazines, booklets and CDs, now with the advancement of technologies they are spreading their literature with unconstitutional calls via Internet.
He said that the activeness of extremist organizations is noticeable in remote districts and villages where whole families become members. When they join such organizations people given an oath and it becomes problematic to return them to ordinary life.
Uzakov said that his commission plans to start more active work among women in 2012 because extremist organizations have started recruiting women.
