The Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir in Russia finds it necessary to comment on what was published in some Russian media that tried to link the name of the party with the gang (GTA) which is accused of murder and armed robbery against motorists. At the beginning of December of 2014, some authors pointed to the involvement of members of Hizb ut Tahrir in those criminal acts.

On Friday 5th December 2014 the Raheel-Nawaz regime's agencies with the help of local police raided a talk arranged by Hizb ut Tahrir in Gulberg, Lahore, and arrested a number of its Shabab. Such talks are a routine activity arranged by Hizb ut Tahrir, across the country in many localities, to explain the idea of Khilafah "Caliphate" and its importance for the revival of the Ummah.

On Friday, 05 December 2014, eleven (11) members and activists of Hizb ut Tahrir were arrested in Dhaka and Chittagong when they were distributing a leaflet issued by the party dated 13 Safar 1436 AH corresponding to 05 December 2014 CE. What is it with Hasina and her government? Half a decade has passed and they have not yet learnt that arrests, persecution, and firing bullets etc are useless blunt…

Despite the fact that what we have said in the press release was clear enough, but "Konkretno" website expressed its astonishment at the Memorial Center for Human Rights for considering Hizb ut Tahrir's prisoners in the list of political prisoners. The press release provided a detailed explanation about the illegality of considering Hizb ut Tahrir a terrorist organization according to the decision of the Russian Supreme Court on 14/02/2003.
