Press Release
HIZB UT TAHRIR / BRITAIN CONDEMNS THE UK GOVERNMENT’s ANNOUNCEMENT TO PROSCRIBE THE PARTY

Today's announcement by the British Home Secretary to seek to proscribe Hizb ut Tahrir is a desperate measure to censor debate about the genocide in Palestine and to stop Islam’s just political alternative.

Hizb ut Tahrir completely refutes any idea that it is anti-Semitic or encourages terrorism. We have repeatedly called for the re-establishment of the Islamic system in the Middle East that allowed Jews, Muslims and Christians to live side by side for centuries. It is Islam's sublime values that removes oppression from society and doesn’t discriminate on colour, race, religion or gender. Indeed the only terrorism that is currently being undertaken is by the Zionist entity in Gaza, supported by British politicians who are complicit in war crimes, ethnic cleansing and genocide.

By seeking to proscribe Hizb ut Tahrir, Britain will join the likes of Putin’s Russia, Sisi’s Egypt and a host of other authoritarian states in silencing a voice for the restoration of an Islamic civilizational alternative for the Muslim world. It also demonstrates that all the talk about diversity, anti-censorship and freedom of speech, are only acceptable as long as one agrees with the extremist Zionist agenda of 10 Downing Street.

Hizb ut Tahrir has a record of over 70 years of following a method of non-violent political activity against despots who rule the Muslim world with the West's approval. In its work to establish the Islamic Khilafah (Caliphate), Hizb ut Tahrir has never resorted to any sort of violence or armed struggle. It has throughout its history worked through intellectual and political means while its members have been tortured and killed in the thousands.

Hizb ut-Tahrir Britain explicitly states that it will challenge the proposed proscription using all available legal means. Regardless of the outcome for Hizb ut Tahrir, the political struggle in highlighting the genocide in Gaza, exposing the West's colonial agenda and the obligation to work to restore Islam as a just way of life will always continue.

Notes to Editors:

Hizb ut Tahrir / Britain will hold a Space on X tomorrow (Tuesday 16 January 2024) to further discuss the situation in Palestine, Yemen and the wider region.
