Press Release
The Servile Palestinian Authority Conspires with the Russian Consulate and Arrests Two Members from the Delegation of Hizb ut Tahrir that Handed the Consulate a Communiqué Denouncing the Russian Crimes Against Muslims
(Translated)

Russia's crimes against Muslims in general and against the Shabab of Hizb ut Tahrir in particular have intensified, from murder, torture and fabrication of charges within Russia and outside of it, especially in Tatarstan. This necessitated a global campaign of protest and condemnation, as carried out by the Hizb around the world, including protests in front of Russian embassies and the delivery of communiqués to the Russian embassies, addressing Russian President Putin and the Russian government.

We in Hizb ut Tahrir / Palestine sent a delegation to the Russian Consulate in Ramallah on Monday, 17/17/2014, when a communiqué was handed over, warning the Russian President and the Russian government of the consequences of their aggression against Muslims and denouncing their crimes against the Shabab of Hizb ut Tahrir. Subsequently and on the evening of the same day, security services arrested the head of the delegation, Dr. Mus'ab Abu ‘Arqub, member of the Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir in Palestine. And on Saturday, the security agencies of the Palestinian Authority arrested the member of the delegation who delivered the communiqué, Dr. Islam Ibrahim, as well as the photographer that accompanied the delegation.

The action of the Palestinian Authority's security agencies, in the form of the arrest of members of a political delegation that delivers a formal communiqué to a foreign embassy, in protest against criminal acts against Muslims, is considered a first-class act of criminality and terrorism. It makes the Palestinian Authority a partner to Russia in its crimes against Muslims.

This action reflects the servitude and subordination of the Palestinian Authority to the adverse colonial countries and the Jewish entity. They have no will of their own with which to face the foreign enemy. Rather they meet its demands, even if that meant to arrest a peaceful political delegation, protesting against injustice, crime and terrorism in a civilized manner, unknown to Russia and the malevolent, subservient Palestinian Authority.

The people of Palestine are aware of the reality of this meager Palestinian Authority that bows in front of the enemies and bullies its own people and wards. It intimidates them day and night, sneaking around in the contents of their homes, terrorizing women and children, who cry out to the nobles in the Muslim armies to march into the blessed land under the lead of a rightly guided Khaleefah that will save them from the occupation and its stepchild, the Authority. Hizb ut Tahrir works day and night to achieve that, and it will materialize, Allah willing, whether the Kuffar like it or not!

[إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَالِغُ أَمْرِهِ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدْراً]

"Indeed, Allah will accomplish His purpose. Allah has already set for everything a [decreed] extent." [At-Talaq: 3]
