Kazakh law enforcement and security agencies have detained the organizers of a rally of the organization Hizb ut-Tahrir, which is banned in Kazakhstan for its extremist views. Ten Hizb ut-Tahrir activists, among them, as was previously reported, a Russian citizen, were detained on Friday afternoon during an unsanctioned rally near the main mosque of Pavlodar, an administrative center in the northern part of the country, a police source told Interfax on Saturday. The young men \"were calling on Muslims to unite against a U.S. aggression\" and spreading leaflets. The rally was reported to have gathered about a hundred people. Most of them had come to the mosque to attend a day religious service. All the detainees are been held at a remand facility. The opening of a criminal case under a Criminal Code article dealing with \"the establishment of or involvement in the activity of illegal public or other associations\" is under consideration.
