The Women's Section of the Central Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir have launched a global campaign to raise a strong international voice against the shameful detention on 31st March 2014 of Zulfiyya Amonova by the criminal Kyrgyzstan regime. Zulfiyya is a Hafiz of Qur'an, a devoted servant of Allah (swt), and courageous daughter of the martyr of Hizb ut Tahrir Amaanov Hamidullah from Kyrgyzstan who was arrested and taken away from his family for being a member of Hizb ut Tahrir...
Jumada II 1435 AH -- April 2014 CE
You my sisters, who feel for Syria, but know that this feeling and actions you carry out for your Ummah in Syria is no longer a simple issue. It is under pressure. Even being criminalised.
UK Home Secretary Theresa May extended her powers in December to take away passports of those who return from Syria. Deeming those individuals as criminals before they even set soil on British Land. Why? Because these people are so called terrorists - A threat to British people apparently, because they went to join or give up their lives to protect innocent women and children.
Sisters we may not agree with this action of some of our Ummah but that is not the issue here. It's the lies about these people being a threat to demonise them and the criminalisation doesn't even end there.
It has extended to people now who have given charity. We have seen Charity envoys scrutinised, like they are a hiding place of terrorists! And as a result people being pressured and intimidated. Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe said even about those going out to help the humanitarian effort, they will return radicalised. The charity commission head has just this week spoken out about his concern about Islamic extremism in charities!
Would you ever imagine sisters giving charity to help the absolutely destitute would be deemed criminal?
Then we have had Brother Moazaam Begg who suffered in Guantanamo Bay detained whilst researching Syria yes we don't know details but what message does this send out?
All in all what do we see? Is that Syria has become the litmus test for the extremist Muslim. It doesn't matter if you absolutely categorically disagree with acts of terrorism and killing innocent people. That doesn't matter. If you believe in Islamic views such as the global Ummah and the political nature of Islam, you are a potential criminal.
So how do we respond?
First and foremost, there is no doubt there is an unprecedented humanitarian crisis with refugees teeming across the camps.
We must give charity and we send as much material help that we can - food, clothing, and medication blankets - and we must do this sisters.
Not many parts of our Ummah have additional wealth to send. These efforts must not die out and they must continue as they are not being helped substantially by anyone. So support all the charities who are doing great work.
But we cannot give blankets and medicines with our open hearts but turn away our eyes from the one message that comes out from our Ummah in Syria time and time again through YouTube video after video. Which is to raise awareness that their call is one for Islam.
Our Ummah is struggling for the Islam of you and I. Are sacrificing their lives, for you and I. As part of this same Ummah, we must stand with them. If we totally ignore this whole element of their suffering, how can we stand with them?
Not only therefore are we bound to them by our bond of brotherhood, our necessity to witness the truth of what's happening to them - But because it is a struggle for our Deen as much as it is theirs.
Therefore we must play our part by standing by their struggle wholeheartedly, and not diluting its truth in anyway.
Sisters know this is not about today, tomorrow or next month. Whether Syria is an issue on the cards or not, this struggle against holding onto the values of Islam however demonised they may be - It is our struggle as a Muslim community here, as a section of this global Ummah.
And moreover we must stand back and ask ourselves in a time, where the Ummah has embarked on the thorny and difficult path of being witnesses and vanguards to the truth, embracing again their Islamic identity, what do we want our identity to be?
Because how we respond to the pressure against Islam NOW will shape who we are in years and years to come. And just think for a moment my dear sisters of who you want to be, what type of Islamic legacy you want to leave behind for your children or grandchildren to be when they are sitting in this position that you are in today. If we do not hold onto the rope of Allah today my sisters, then what can we expect for our future generations?
And if we choose to allow Syria to become a criminalised people and struggle, If we do not raise a confident voice against this as well all the other aspects of our Deen under attack: segregation, niqab, our schools. Then we allow these views to become a warped truth that Islam really is a problem, as we give nothing to counteract them. Astaghfirullah.
So my sisters, hold onto this Deen and do not let go of any part of it. And convey the call for Islam for Syria, being true to what the struggle of our Ummah is really about.

Assalamu alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh...
To my dear and honoured sister Zulfiyya Amonova,
Sabr Oh Sister! Verily Allah (swt) has prepared the best of His places in His Jannah for you...
You have been patient almost the whole of your life and still Allah (swt) has desired to grant you the best of rewards in His (swt) Gardens. You knew that the path to that place was hard and difficult to walk, but you had the best of role-models of our times, namely your father. I cannot imagine how much patience you must show, but be sure that you are a role-model too now - for me and for my children, and I believe for the entire Ummah. You are one of those, whom Allah (swt) wants us to know like one of the Sahaba. Your name will be mentioned in the duas of every dawah carrier until the establishment of Allah (swt)'s Deen on this earth again and your name, along with that of your father will be called in the duas and talks after the establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate" Rashidah, which is very soon inshaallah!
Ya Rabbi! Hear the calls of our sister Zulfiyya and free her from the hands of these oppressors! Amin!
To the oppressors and their executors!
Wallahi, the time is soon where you will beg for forgiveness and will wish to be dust, but Allah (swt)'s punishment for you will be heavier than any torture YOU might be able to invent!
You, your Western supporters, and your slaves are eager to prevent the return of Allah (swt)'s Authority... Do you really think to have success??? Even if you did not read the Qur'an, did you not learn from history that others before you have tried this in vail??? Did you not here of the Firaun and how his body was perserved as a sign for people who come after him? Did you not here from Nemrut? Did you not here from the Mushrikoon, like Abu Jahil and Abu Lahab in Makkah? They all failed! And Allah (swt) has punished them in this world as well as in the Hereafter!
So will you not leave your atrocities and turn to Allah (swt) in repentance, and relief Zulfiyya Amonova and all the other innocent dawah carriers?! Or choose to wait! Allah (swt) will send His armies under the command of the next Khalifah very soon biiznillah! This will be the luckier scenario for you, that you maybe have the chance to regret your evil before you come into the court of Allah (swt) in the Hereafter!
((إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَانتَصَرُوا مِن بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا وَسَيَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَيَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبُونَ))

Hizb ut Tahrir draws the attention of all human rights organizations based in Bangladesh and internationally, as well as the civil society in Bangladesh to the torture of the party's members and activists by the Government of Bangladesh (GOB); and calls upon the responsible executives and members of the human rights community, and the civil society to take up the issue with the GOB, pressing upon them the urgency of refraining from all forms of torture.
The current GOB resorted to a policy of repression against Hizb ut Tahrir since February 2009, when the party exposed Sheikh Hasina and her government's collaboration in the massacre of officers of the Muslim Army of Bangladesh. Party members and activists are regularly harassed and arrested. Whenever the party undertakes political activities to expose the government's failures and crimes against the people, members and activists of the party are attacked by the police and arrested.
In the past five years, hundreds of party members and activists have been imprisoned under false cases. The arrested party members and activists are left to languish in the prisons of tyrant Hasina for months without bail despite plain and unambiguous grounds for granting them bail.
In recent weeks, thirty of these members and activists have been shackled and kept under 24 lock up in their cells. They are forced to eat, sleep, make ablution and pray while their hands and feet are tied in chains. This is despite the fact that there is not a single accusation against them of breaking prison rules or any misbehaviour, nor have they been convicted or sentenced. These sincere Muslims are a model of high standards of conduct for other prisoners. On the other hand, murderers and violent criminals walk freely and carry out mischief in the same prisons much like the way the Hasina government and the Awami thugs are causing mayhem and mischief outside of the prisons.

Hizb ut Tahrir urges all human rights and civil society organizations, as well as the sincere individuals from the human rights community and civil society to fulfill their duty of defending all prisoners of conscience by insisting that the GOB ceases the torture of the members and activists of the party by unshackling them and releasing them immediately.
