On January 26th, representatives of the Committee for Civil Assistance, Svetlana Gannushkina and Helen Ryabinin were called in to the Moscow City Public Procurator. The prosecutor is investigating the propagation in the mosques of the fatwa, created at the request of Civil Assistance, issued by the mufti of the Asian part of Russia, Nafigully Ashirov concerning the organization "Khizb ut-Takhrir".
Civil Assistance Chairman, Svetlana Gannushkina and director of the program "Aid to Political Refugees from Central Asia", Helen Ryabinin told a correspondent of PRIMA -.News that the prosecutor asked them why the fatwa was ordered.
"Khizb ut-Takhrir" has been declared an extremist organization by the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation and is forbidden. Ashirov’s statement contains no call to violence.
Svetlana Gannushkina expressed fear that the authorities might put pressure on the mufti in connection with the propagation of his fatwa concerning "Khizb ut-Takhrir".
