The leader of the Islamic Renaissance Party of Tajikistan, Muhiddin Kabiri, reacted to the recent statements of the Attorney General of Russia regarding the recognition of the IRPT as a “terrorist” organization.

In response to the statement of the Attorney General of Russia, the leader of the Islamic Renaissance Party of Tajikistan, Muhiddin Kabiri wrote on his Twitter page:

“Russia, as a guarantor of the peace process, is making a mistake by recognizing the IRPT, one of the parties to the Peace Agreement, as terrorist. This will lead to the radicalization of moderate forces, an increase in anti-Russian sentiment, and undermine trust in dialogue and peaceful mechanisms for resolving problems in Tajikistan.”

It was previously reported that the Attorney General of Russia, Igor Krasnov, who was on a working visit to Tajikistan, stated during a meeting with Emomali Rahmon that the Prosecutor General’s Office of Russia had filed a request with the court to recognize the Islamic Renaissance Party of Tajikistan as a “terrorist” organization.

“We have already submitted the relevant claim to the court regarding the Islamic Renaissance Party of Tajikistan,” Krasnov stated during the meeting with Rahmon.

The activities of the Islamic Renaissance Party of Tajikistan have been banned in the country since 2015. The authorities have imprisoned the party leaders for many years, and some have been sentenced to life imprisonment. To date, no country in the world has recognized the IRPT as a terrorist organization, despite the enormous efforts of the Tajik authorities.
