35 Hizbut Tahrir members held in Islamabad
2009-10-18
Police on Saturday arrested 35 members of the banned Hizbut Tahrir during a meeting at a house in Sector F. Margallah police, on a tip-off, raided House No 8, Street No 9 in Sector F-8/3 and discovered over 30 workers of the banned organisation conducting a secret meeting. The arrested were immediately shifted to the Margallah Police Station for investigation. Sources said the raiding team had recovered banned literature, computers, mobile phones and banners at the site, adding 15 vehicles had also been taken into custody. Islamabad Senior Superintendent of Police Operations Tahir Alam Khan confirmed the police had raided the house on a tip-off. He said further investigations were underway. The London-based Hizbut Tahrir seeks to unite Muslims in a pan-Islamic state but says its means are peaceful. Former president Pervez Musharraf banned it.
