In the Jalal-Abad region, in the city of Manas, the activities of an illegal religious movement have been halted. This was reported by the press service of the State National Security Committee (GKNB).
According to information from the state committee, as part of the operation, missionary activities (da'wat) conducted by followers of the religious movement "Furkan," which opposes secular policies and actively promotes Sharia law, were stopped.
During the events, 20 individuals were detained, including 6 foreigners. It has been established that the followers of "Furkan" chose the Jalal-Abad region to experiment with spreading their ideology and creating cells in the southern regions of Kyrgyzstan.
Timely actions by the authorities prevented the formation of one of the potential cells of undesirable religious organizations on the territory of the country.
Administrative fines have been imposed on the organizers and participants of this illegal activity, and measures are being taken to ensure compliance with the Law of the Kyrgyz Republic "On Freedom of Conscience and Religious Organizations" and other regulatory acts.
