Tashkent, June 11, Interfax - A Tashkent regional court on criminal cases has sentenced twelve female activists of the Hizb ut-Tahrir organization to various terms of imprisonment, a source in the country's law enforcement authorities told Interfax on Thursday.
All convicts were indicted of encroaching on the constitutional system, creating banned religious extremist organizations, preparing and distributing materials posing a threat to public security, the source said.
According to the law enforcement authorities, the "female wing" of Hizb ut-Tahrir, an organization that is banned in the country, was set up in Tashkent in 2003, the source said. Two branches of the group were then formed, which operated in Tashkent and the Tashkent region. The group had to close its activities after the arrest of the leaders of the illegal religious organization.
"The inquest has found that Salima Zakirova and Feruza Rustamova, involved in the activities of the organization at the time, initiated their activity in January 2008," the source said.
They continued to create a system of small groups, which were unaware of each other's existence. They set up a special fund and organized fund raising. The representatives of the "female wing" of Hizb ut-Tahrir distributed extremist literature calling for the anti-constitutional change of the political system, the removal of the legally elected government and heads of local authorities from power, and the destruction of the united Uzbekistan.
The majority of the convicted women have their husbands, brothers or other relatives currently serving prison sentences for membership in this extremist religious movement.

karimov, how dumb you are and your allies in this sinister lies and suppression of the ummaah and her honour the "muslima". Do blind you are. Do you ever think that these women who resemble the like of sumaiya of today will bow their head to your punishment and opression when the know Allah is the rabb and He is the protector. He is the one who witness and take account, He is the one who is the giver of life and death, He is the one who grant punishement and torment for the likes of you (abu jahal, namrud...). He is the one to whom is our final return (not ot USA or Russia). Indeed Allah is the witness of the victory of sumaiya by His (swt) will and Abu jahal is the one who is disgraced.....count your days and hours of your brutal subjugation.........indeed Shikh Ata ibn Khalil (inshallah) is coming to catch you as the khalif of the beliver in time you just will wonder and could not believe in wildest imagination. Inshallah. |
