Press Release
Launch of a Global Campaign in Support of the Da’wah Carriers in Uzbekistan
(Translated)

The enemy of Allah, Islam and the Muslims, the Jewish criminal tyrant of Uzbekistan, Karimov, is still consumed by rage and spite against the obedient sons of Islam from the carriers of the Da’wah. It is not enough for him what he and his cronies have already undertaken in terms of consecutive intensive campaigns which have reflected his insistence to make war against Allah, His Messenger, counteract the Shariah of Islam and prevent adherence to the symbols of the Deen. Indeed the crimes of Karimov’s criminal regime until now are too many to count and they include:

Opening fire on the civilian residents of Andijan, physically wiping out the opposition and those who oppose him intellectually, preventing the wearing of the Khimar (headscarf), growing the beard and wearing a cap, preventing state employees from performing the Salaah, preventing youth from entering the Masaajid and preventing collective iftaars in Ramadan. This is in addition to the crimes that the Uzbeki regime practises in prisons and detention centres where the prisoner is not safe and is continuously exposed to bouts of torture, punishment and a host of crimes that those regime following criminals undertake. This is done with the objective of breaking the resolution and honour of the prisoners, and their defiance of the regime’s henchmen even in prisons as they remain firm upon the obedience to Allah and refusal to bow to falsehood. 

To expose the crimes of Karimov that he perpetrates day and night with the support of the leaders of the West and the East, the Central Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir announces the launch of a global campaign to cast light upon the crimes that have been perpetrated against the carriers of the Da’wah in Uzbekistan generally and in the prisons and detention centres specifically. This is under the heading:

“Karimov’s Crimes Rage against Muslims in Uzbekistan”

#Karimov_is_Spiteful_of_Islam

Therefore we invite everyone to follow the activities of this campaign and to participate in it in support of these heroes who taken the example of the Prophets and Messengers to stand against the tyrant Pharaohric rulers.

These crimes will never prevent or stop Hizb ut Tahrir from moving forward in its Da’wah for the resumption of Islam to life’s arena. Patient, steadfast and dedicated whilst being certain of the closeness of the victory of Allah and the returning glory of His Deen. Allah (swt) said in His Great Book:

[كَتَبَ اللَّـهُ لَأَغْلِبَنَّ أَنَا وَرُسُلِي إِنَّ اللَّـهَ قَوِيٌّ عَزِيزٌ]

“Allah has written, "I will surely overcome, I and My messengers." Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might” [Al-Mujadila: 21].
