Uzbekistan's court sentenced 11 individuals to prison terms for terrorism-related offenses, highlighting the state's crackdown on extremist ideologies in the ethnically diverse Ferghana Valley.
These individuals were involved in promoting jihad and the establishment of an Islamic state through gatherings disguised as social events, significantly raising concerns about local stability.
The arrests illustrate Uzbekistan's ongoing struggle with domestic and transnational Islamist groups, particularly in volatile regions like Qoqon, a known epicenter for such ideologies.
The DXX's actions reflect a broader governmental strategy aimed at curbing religious extremism amid fears of local instability and the proliferation of radical beliefs.
