Women of Hizb ut Tahrir Organise International Campaign Against the Criminal Detention of Zulfiyya Amonova by the Tyrant Kyrgyzstan Regime

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 31^st 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 when Zulfiyya was just 5 years old. He was kidnapped, imprisoned and tortured by Uzbek security forces for 14 years and died in their custody. His family were not even able to retrieve his dead body. Zulfiyya was arrested in the city of Osh by Kyrgyz Special Forces for attempting to uncover the crimes and expose the lies of the tyrant Kyrgyz and Uzbek regimes related to the death of her father. Her whereabouts are still not known. These are regimes who also have a notorious record of persecuting, imprisoning, torturing and molesting the female dawah carriers of Hizb ut Tahrir - their only crime being to account oppressive rulers, to refuse to bow in subservience to dictators, and to call for the system of Allah (swt), the Khilafah "Caliphate".

We say to the tyrants of Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan that speaking the truth and standing for justice is NOT a crime! Do you think that your criminal detention of our dear sister Zulfiyya will go hidden to the world? Then you are gravely mistaken, for the women of Hizb ut Tahrir will raise awareness of her case internationally, exposing - to the media and people alike - your crimes against our innocent sister and other sincere dawah carriers of Islam. Your weak attempts to muzzle the voice of our dear sister will come to no avail, for our voices are at one with hers! And know that she does not stand alone in her prison cell for she has the support of the Lord of the Worlds and tens of thousands of Muslims globally!

Do you think that such feeble actions of detaining innocent, pious Muslim women will break the will of the dawah carriers for the Khilafah "Caliphate"? Then you are utterly blind for it will only strengthen their resolve to see the back of your criminal regimes and the return of guardianship and justice under the glorious System of Allah (swt). Do you think that imprisoning sincere Believers will prolong your oppressive secular rule? Then you are utterly deluded for it will only accelerate your demise as Muslims globally witness your tyranny and attack on Islam and desire an urgent end to it! Such actions simply reflect the dying throes of weak, desperate governments, unable to quell the ever rising tide of support and unstoppable calls for the return of the Shariah and the Khilafah "Caliphate".

We say to all the tyrant regimes who persecute Muslims simply because they say ‘Our Lord is Allah' and wish to live under His (swt) Rule, that the establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate" is inevitable; it's only a matter of time; and there are countless signs of its imminent return. Your attempts to silence the call for the Khilafah "Caliphate" will therefore prove utterly futile. So take heed, for upon the re-birth of this glorious state, the crimes of those who harmed the sincere believers will not go forgotten, nor without punishment.

We demand that the Kyrgyz authorities immediately release Zulfiyya Amonova and all the sincere dawah carriers in their prisons. And we make duaa that Allah (swt) keeps our sister and all Muslims detained for their Deen strong in their Iman and patient in their test. Ameen.
