Tadjik arrested for part in banned party activities
Officers from the Khujand administrative centre of Soghd Region in northern Tajikistan internal affairs department have caught red-handed another member of the underground religious Hezb-e Tahrir party. Asia-Plus learnt at the town's internal affairs department that during an operation, a student of Bobojon Ghafurov State University in Khujand, B. Dodkhojayev, was arrested while posting leaflets with anti-constitutional content. Criminal proceedings have been instituted into this case, and an investigation is under way. He is a ninth member of Hezb-e Tahrir to have been detained in the country since the beginning of this year by officers from subdivisions of the Tajik Ministry of Internal Affairs.
You've got to sympathize with the Central Asian countries as they try to deal with this continuing, mostly low-level agitation. If they dont' come down hard on it, they end up with groups like the Islamic Movement of Uzebekistan, which we met up close and personal in Afghanistan. Hezb ut-Tahrir is one of the groups that funnels the gunnies into them.
