Tashkent, October 14, Interfax - An extremist organization has been exposed in south Uzbekistan, and 14 of its members have been convicted, a representative of the Uzbek police told Interfax on Thursday.
The Islamic Jihad Union was operating in the Surkhandarya Region bordering on Afghanistan and Turkmenistan, he said.
The 14 members of the organization, including two women, "were found guilty and sentenced to various prison terms," he said.
The convicts distributed books and other material they had received from abroad to appeal for Jihad.
"They aimed to break the territorial integrity of the Republic of Uzbekistan, to change the constitutional system and to build a Caliphate," he said.
