On Saturday 20th December 2008, the sisters wing of Hizb ut-Tahrir Britain organised a demonstration outside the Uzbek embassy in London for women only. Over a hundred and fifty Muslim sisters demonstrated to protest against the sexual molestation of Muslim sisters by Karimov's brutal regime. These Muslim sisters in Uzbekistan were arrested for alleged ‘religious extremism' - the latest campaign against those who speak out against the tyranny and oppression of the Uzbek government.

London, UK, 10 December 2008 – Reports have emerged that Police in Tashkent, Uzbekistan have detained 28 Muslim women for alleged ‘religious extremism’, after which they were ‘filmed for a pornographic video and were warned that similar videos would be shot if they did not confess to a crime’.
Some of the women were alledged to be members of Hizb ut-Tahrir or related to members of Hizb ut-Tahrir. This is the latest chapter in Uzbekistan’s brutal campaign against Muslims who dare to speak out against the tyranny and oppression of the Karimov regime.
