Alsu Fayzrakhmanova

The resident of Kazan. In the summer of 2025, she was taken into custody on charges of involvement in the activities of a terrorist organisation in connection with her involvement in the activities of the Islamic party Hizb ut-Tahrir.

Hizb ut-Tahrir was recognised as a terrorist organisation and banned in the Russian Federation in 2003. Human rights activists considered this ban to be groundless, as there was no evidence that members of this party were involved in terrorist activities. Twenty years later, the party actively expressed support for terrorist activities against Israel. Nevertheless, in Russia people are persecuted not even for their statements, much less for involvement in terrorist acts, but solely on the basis of alleged membership, which, as a rule, is reduced to meetings in flats and the study of literature.
