In 2013, a case was brought against Sharifullina under part 1 of article 282.2 of the Criminal Code (organisation of activities of a banned organisation) for coordinating the activities of a "women's underground madrassa"; during searches, a large amount of literature (books, leaflets, newspaper clippings, brochures, including over 1,000 books by Said Nursi), computers, hard drives and teaching materials were seized.
