October 8, 2012 Central District Court Chelyabinsk recognized as extremist the video film "History and Reasons emergence of Hizb ut-Tahrir" video recording studio "HT media Chelyabinsk", posted on social networks. According to the FSB department for the Chelyabinsk region, the film "promotes the activities banned by the decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation political movement, ideology Islamism, global Islamic jihad and armed struggle against infidels, contains a rationale for activities to destroy the territorial integrity Russia and the establishment of an Islamic state on its territory " .

We reviewed the video and did not find it calls for global jihad and armed struggle, there is not a single word about Russia in it. words. The film repeatedly emphasizes that Hizb ut-Tahrir is a political party and uses political and ideological methods. The authors, in the spirit of the ideology of the party, argue that Western civilization hostile to the Islamic world and Muslims should strive to establishing a world caliphate to defend their interests, but this the idea, as usual, is presented exclusively abstractly and cannot serve as a sufficient grounds for banning material for extremism. Recall that we do not consider the ban on Hizb ut-Tahrir lawful.
