According to the RAPSIS agency, citing the court’s press service, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation has scheduled a hearing on September 14 regarding the lawsuit of the General Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation to recognize the Islamic Revival Party of Tajikistan as a “terrorist organization.”

Earlier, it was reported that the General Prosecutor of Russia, Igor Krasnov, during a meeting with Emomali Rahmon, stated that the General Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation had considered the request of the General Prosecutor of Tajikistan, Yusuf Rahmon, to recognize certain organizations and parties in Russia as “terrorist.”

“We have already submitted the corresponding lawsuit to the court regarding the Islamic Revival Party of Tajikistan,” Krasnov said at the meeting with Rahmon.

The press service of the President of Tajikistan reported that “the parties discussed issues of neutralizing existing internal threats, including those related to the imposition of the ideology of religious radicalism on society, as well as ‘sleeping’ cells of international terrorism and extremism.”

In response to the statement of the General Prosecutor of Russia, the leader of the Islamic Revival 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 a terrorist organization. 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.”
