Akramiya
Akramiya is an Islamist militant group in Uzbekistan, Central Asia, banned under the current Uzbek government. Akramiya is a splinter group of the outlawed Hizb ut-Tahrir political movement (which advocates non-violent Islamic revival in the region). Formed in 1996, under the leadership of Akram Yuldoshev, of Andijan, the group believes that while the aims of Hizb ut-Tahrir are correct, non-violent methods are not suitable to achieve them. It is reported that leaflets distributed by Akramiya condone and encourage suicide bombers.
