In Russia, a court decision banned the international religious organization "Tablighi Jamaat"

The Supreme Court of Russia recognized as extremist and banned the activities on the territory of the Russian Federation of the international religious organization Tablighi Jamaat (Propaganda of the Faith).

The official representative of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation, Marina Gridneva, said that in this way the highest judicial body satisfied the relevant requirement of the country's Prosecutor General.

The press secretary of the Supreme Court, Pavel Odintsov, said that the activities of the organization in connection with the decision of the court should be banned, while the decision can be appealed to the cassation instance.

Recall that the Tablighi Jamaat movement was engaged in the spread of Islam in Russia.

On July 31, 2009, the Supreme Court rejected the cassation appeal of the Association "AGORA" and confirmed the legality of the ban on "Tablighi Jamaat" as an extremist organization.

On August 3, 2009, the Tablighi Jamaat association was included in the Federal List of Extremist Organizations.
