| 2011-02-26 |
| Authorities arrested an Istaravshan man February 24 for failing to notify authorities of Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU) activities. Sukhrob Gafurov, 32, was charged with holding religious meetings attended by IMU members at his residence from 2007 to 2009. Gafurov did not inform law enforcement of these meetings, in which IMU members called for jihad. Meanwhile, Kyrgyz authorities have arrested a man suspected of belonging to the banned Hizb ut-Tahrir. A search of his Bishkek apartment revealed extremist literature. |
