Hizb Ut Tahrir in Central Asia at the Beginning of the XXIst Century

Abstract

Islamist movement Hizb ut Tahrir has expanded his activities worldwide since it was founded by Taquiuddin al Nabhani in the 50’s. Its presence in Central Asia has contributed to destabilize those nations which became independent 20 years ago and to increase the number of Islamists who, plausibly, can jump to groups of different nature, i.e. terrorist. The group has been reinforced in recent years all over the world and during 2011 was very active in the Arab Spring´s revolts.
