Press Release
Kyrgyz Authorities Killed another Muslim

Despite the fact that Kyrgyzstan has changed many presidents, the authorities sometimes enforce the fight against Islam and had never made it weaker. If previous presidents, particularly Bakiyev, were openly against Islam, even prohibiting holding public Muslim celebrations for Eid ul Fitr and Eid ul Adha, and even brazenly killing Imam Muhammad Rafiq Kamalov of Al-Sarahs Mosque at Kara-Suu. The current president Atambayev himself participates in the festivities Namaz on Eids and his every second word is "Allah", however, at the same time he fights against blameless Muslim women. Another crime of the authorities - the ruthless murder of our Brother Kulmirzaev Kadyrali Raimzhanavich at prison.

[إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ]

"Surely we belong to Allah and to Him shall we return".

By the will of Allah, he reached the degree of Shahid (as we believe). Our Brother Kulmirzaev Kadyrali was born on November 15, 1969 in Shamaldy Sai, Bazar-Kurgan district of Jalal-Abad region. He has seven children, three sons and four daughters. Kadyrali realizing his reality, was concerned about the recognition of the idea that this life is not compatible for a Muslim. For this reason, learning of the ideas of Hizb ut Tahrir, he was pleased, as the man who found what he had lost. And from that day with all his being he took the ideas of Hizb and in 1997 he became a member of Hizb ut Tahrir.

Our brother Kadyrali, which attained by Allah's will the degree of Shahid, tried to relay to the rest of people what he knew himself. He wanted the rest of people, as he tried, to live under Sharia law. For this reason, day and night he carried the Islamic dawah. His desire to spread the ideas of Islam, his love of Islam attracted the attention of the authorities. The authorities gave him a suspended sentence at February 13, 2012 to stifle his desire for the Islamic dawah. But Kadyrali understood this as a test given by Allah Almighty, and continued to lead the Islamic dawah. Therefore, on February 15, 2013 the court sentenced him to 8 years in prison under Article 299, paragraph 1, "inciting ethnic and religious hatred." The authorities were not satisfied with long-term sentence of Kadyrali and thus sentenced his wife, Gulnara Kulmirzaevu Abaltievnu, born April 30, 1974, to two years suspension.

Despite imprisonment, distance from family and loved ones, our brother Shahid Kadyrali continued to lead the Islamic dawah. As a result of prolonged inhumane torture our brother Kadyrali became Shahid by the will of Allah on the 9^th of August 2014. After his precious body was passed on to the family on August 10, Salat ul Janazah was organized. More than 3 thousand Muslims from all parts of Kyrgyzstan came to take part in the Salat ul Janazah. During Salat ul Janazah and at the cemetery Muslims gave speeches in Kyrgyz, Russian and Uzbek languages​​, all charges by article 299 of the Criminal Code (incitement of ethnic and religious hatred) were considered slander.

[وَلاَ تَقُولُواْ لِمَنْ يُقْتَلُ فِيسَبيلِ اللّهِ أَمْوَاتٌ بَلْ أَحْيَاء وَلَكِن لاَّ تَشْعُرُونَ]

"And do not say about those who are killed in the way of Allah, "They are dead." Rather, they are alive, but you perceive [it] not." [Al-Baqara: 154]

We ask Allah to put our brother on a par with martyrs, righteous and prophets, and give sabr to his family and friends. At the end of the funeral ceremony for the Shaheed, KGB officers and police detained without reason 16 Muslims and questioned them for 3 hours. Since there is no crime for participation in Salat ul Janaza and uttering the words "Allahu Akbar", the detained Muslims stated that they would not testify without a lawyer, and the authorities were forced to release them after three hours.

Let the government of Kyrgyzstan and their collaborating security agencies not think that their crimes shall go unpunished. By the will of Allah, the Khilafah "Caliphate" State is knocking at the doors. On this day for every tear shed by Muslim men, women and orphans, the oppressors will answer. But now, there is still time to repent, not to fall into the list of those who will not be forgiven by Allah and the ruler of the Muslims.

When the Messenger of Allah Muhammad (saw) conquered Mecca, he ordered the killing of those who fought violently against Islam, even if they hide themselves inside cover of the Kaaba.

We call on the authorities and members of the security agencies to avoid this fate.
