[KavkazUzel] Security forces detained 14 residents of Karachay-Cherkessia suspected of involvement in the extremist organization At-Takfir wal-Hijra*,
...At Takfir wal Hijra split off from the Muslim Brotherhood in about 1970 to pursue violent jihad. It split again when the more moderate faction followed Ayman Al-Zawahiri, who subsequently became Al Qaeda’s second in command. Takfir wal Hijra has cells all over the world ...
the FSB reported.

As the Caucasian Knot wrote, in September 2022, five people were sentenced in Karachay-Cherkessia to prison terms on charges of involvement in the banned organization At-Takfir wal-Hijra.

The organization "At-Takfir wal-Hijra" ("Accusation of disbelief and hijra") appeared in Egypt and spread in the North Caucasus in 1997-1998. Supporters of the organization belong to the Salafi movement in Islam and are distinguished by strict requirements for fellow believers. They consider anyone who does not pray five times a day to be an apostate, even if such a person calls himself a Muslim, says the Caucasian Knot material “ Kabardino-Balkaria: On the Road to Catastrophe. Preconditions for the armed uprising in Nalchik on October 13-14, 2005.”

In Karachay-Cherkessia, 14 local residents suspected of involvement in the activities of the At-Takfir wal-Hijra cell were detained, a representative of the republican FSB Directorate reported today.

“As a result of the measures taken, 14 local residents involved in the activities of the extremist organization and its propaganda, including on the Internet, were detained,” he said.

According to him, firearms, ammunition and communications equipment, as well as “extremist literature exposing their illegal activities,” were seized from the homes of the detainees.

Criminal cases have been initiated against some of the detainees under parts 1 and 2 of Article 282.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (organizing the activities of an extremist organization and participating in it), while the issue of initiating criminal cases is being decided against the rest, Interfax reports.
