According to the Tajik Prosecutor-General\'s Office, 118 Hizb ut-Tahrir activists have been sentenced to prison terms in Tajikistan, but the number of party sympathizers in the country is estimated at over 3,000. The Sughd Oblast has traditionally served as a hub for the banned party in Tajikistan, but suspected activists have also been arrested this year in the southern Khatlon Oblast. (RIA-NOvosti)
