Kyrgyzstan intensifies crackdown on Islamic groups just for teaching basic tenets of Islam.
"Group’s members began meeting with young people in private homes, offering them lessons on what they perceive to be the basic tenets of Islam and preaching the virtues of leading an ascetic lifestyle"
"All those who support their ideas are in violation of the law and should accordingly face legal repercussions for that,” said Saidamir azhy Zheenaliyev, a DUMK-appointed qazi, or Islamic judge, for the Osh region".
