Press Release
Tyrant of Tajikistan Orders Imprisonment of 17 Muslim Women!
(Translated)

Against the backdrop of a work visit by Russian President Vladimir Putin to Tajikistan, the tyrant of Tajikistan, Imam Ali Rehman ordered the arrest of Muslim women from the members of Hizb ut Tahrir in the city of Dushanbe, while the media of both countries reported of the meeting between the two mentioned above. Concerning the details of those meetings, RU Newspaper reported, "The Russian military base No. 201 in Tajikistan will remain at least until the year 2042, due to the signing of this agreement on Friday during a joint meeting between them. This agreement cost Putin $200 million, which Moscow will send to the modernization of the Tajik military" to execute a single task, which is the ruthless killing of Muslims.

It is interesting to consider that not a single media outlet addressed or published any information about these savage and shameless arrests, unprecedented in the ranks of women in the city of Dushanbe! The tyrant regime is pursuing chaste Muslim women; the criminal Imam Ali Rehman has deliberately grabbed these women away from their husbands, thereby separating them. Whilst some virtuous women have been arrested, the rest of them are forced to go to work in Russia in degrading conditions and for low wages, due to the difficult economic situation in the country.

This criminal tyrant who violates the sanctity of the holy month of Ramadan tortures Muslims to death in his prisons and prosecutes the pure and chaste Muslim women, indeed he is at the greatest distance from Islam! One of the crimes committed by this tyrant in this holy month, specifically on the eighth day, is the martyrdom of Oroncheova Abdul Majeed, who was martyred in one of the cellars of the numerous prisons of the criminal Rehman. We ask Allah to accept the martyrdom of Oroncheova and his martyred brothers who preceded him, and we do not commend anyone to Allah. By throwing our sisters into prison, this despotic regime has left their children as orphans, exposed to hunger and disease.

Oh tyrant Imam Ali Rehman!

Immediately release our brothers and sisters from your prisons, since you are not the first and will not be the last tyrant to declare war on Islam and Muslims, rather you have been preceded by those who were stronger and deadlier than you! However you have seen as we have how the era of those tyrants ended, this road will be pursued by all those who have lost their quest in this life and the Hereafter. Take your lesson from what happened to Mu'ammar Gaddafi and from the outcome of Hosni Mubarak!

Allah has promised the Ummah of Muhammad (saw) - the best Ummah brought out for mankind - to remain a solid unity which, when hit by a setback, will be as described by his (saw) saying:

"المسلمون كالجسد الواحد إذا اشتكى منه عضو تداعى له سائر الجسد بالحمى والسهر"

"The Muslims are like one body, if one organ complains, the rest of the body falls into fever and wakefulness."

Hence you have to understand that the movement in the Islamic world and those revolutions in the Arab world are crystallizing their perspective every day more than the day before... The Muslims want nothing but Islam and once the deferred political verdict is restored, you will not be in safety, and then you will receive what you deserve... We warn you from the wrath of the Islamic Ummah, whose fire will soon reach you by the power of Allah. Then your fate will be either that of a prisoner or a fugitive or a dead.

(وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ اللَّـهَ غَافِلًا عَمَّا يَعْمَلُ الظَّالِمُونَ ۚ إِنَّمَا يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ لِيَوْمٍ تَشْخَصُ فِيهِ الْأَبْصَارُ)

"And never think that Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only delays them for a Day when eyes will stare [in horror]." [Ibrahim: 42]
