The Russian Federal Security Service claims that four Crimean Tatars detained after searches in occupied Crimea on February 9 belonged to the Islamic party Hizb ut-Tahrir and carried out "anti-constitutional activities".

The press service of the FSB of the Russian Federation reported it to the Russian news agency TASS.

"The Federal Security Service, in cooperation with "units of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Republic of Crimea", has suspended the activities of a cell of the international "terrorist" organization "Hizb ut-Tahrir al-Islami" (banned in Russia by the decision of the Supreme Court of Russia in 2003 - ed.). Four "participants of a terrorist structure" were detained. Members of the organization carried out anti-constitutional activities based on the doctrine of creating the so-called "world caliphate", - destroying the institutions of secular society and aimed at overthrowing the current government by force.

With the use of conspiracy measures during the meeting, they spread a terrorist ideology among the inhabitants of the peninsula," the FSB press service told the agency.
