Tajik Foreign Ministry asks foreign media not to publish materials of Islamic Revival Party
DUSHANBE. Oct 30 (Interfax) - The information, press, analysis and foreign policy planning department of the Tajik Foreign Ministry has called on journalists of foreign media organizations accredited in Tajikistan to refrain from disseminating and reproducing materials of the Islamic Revival Party.
"The department urges representatives of the foreign media accredited in the Republic of Tajikistan to refrain from the import, dissemination and reprinting of audio and video products, newspapers, literature and leaflets of the Islamic Revival Party," the Tajik Foreign Ministry said in its address to foreign journalists accredited in the republic.
The Tajik Supreme Court on September 29 recognized the Islamic Revival Party as an extremist and terrorist organization, halted the party's activities and closed it as a prosecuted legal entity.
"It has been determined by facts that the purpose of the Islamic Revival Party of Tajikistan was to change the constitutional system, and violate the sovereignty, territorial integrity and state security of the Republic of Tajikistan," the Tajik Foreign Ministry said.
