A follower of the banned Islamic party Hizb ut-Tahrir from Tatarstan was convicted

The Central District Military Court sentenced Ildar Akhmetzyanov to 17 years in a strict regime colony.

In July 2020, it became known that on March 11, 2020 of the year, the Central District Military Court in Yekaterinburg sentenced a resident of Chistopol Ildar Akhmetzyanov under Part 1 of Art. 205.5 of the Criminal Code (organization of the activities of a terrorist organization) to 17 years in prison with serving in a strict regime colony for involvement in the activities of the Islamic radical party Hizb ut-Tahrir, which is recognized in Russia as terrorist. Akhmetzyanov is appealing the verdict.

Together with Akhmetzyanov , previously convicted by Eduard Nizamov and later convicted by Rais Gimadiyev, was accused of involving Muslims in the ranks of Hizb. ut-Tahrir", and also created a closed network in Russia structure and contributed to the replenishment of combat formations operating on Middle East. Investigators called Nizamov the head of the All-Russian structures of Hizb ut-Tahrir, and Akhmetzyanova as his assistant for Volga Federal District. All three were arrested in October 2018.

in 2011 convicted Ildar Akhmetzyanov was Part 2 Art. 282.2 and part 1 of Art. 150 of the Criminal Code (involving a minor in committing crimes).

How much we know that Hizb ut-Tahrir does not resort to terrorist methods of struggle and does not participate in the recruitment of personnel for participation in hostilities in the Middle Eastern countries. Therefore, we consider the accusation unjustified. followers of this banned party under terrorist articles only on the basis of party activities (holding meetings, reading literature, etc.).
