Press Statement
The Chinese State and Authorities Fear the Banner of La Ilaha illa Allah

On Tuesday, 02 April 2, 2019, Hizb ut Tahrir / Kenya sent its delegation to the Chinese Embassy in Kenya. The Delegation which was led by Head of Central Contact Committee of Hizb ut Tahrir / Kenya Arkanuddin Yassin accompanied by Shabani Mwalimu – Media Representative of Hizb Tahrir in Kenya. They arrived at the embassy in Nairobi at 8:56 a.m. EAT.

The embassy refused to receive or acknowledge receipt of the communique on Uyghur Chinese state oppression, on sight of La ilaha illa Allah the banner of the Prophet Muhammad (saw), which is adorned upon the letterhead of all Hizb ut Tahir official statements. Hizb ut Tahrir / Kenya is not surprised by the move of the embassy, as this has been the norm of all oppressive authorities across the world. We consider this as a sign of Chinese state arrogance and transgression in the face of the truth that is Islam! Hizb ut Tahrir will always be in the frontline in opposing the heinous crimes committed by all corrupt regimes against Muslims across the globe.

The letter was a press release under the title: “Khilafah will Liberate East Turkistan And will Free the Uyghurs from China's Criminal Oppression.” It was issued by the Central Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir. Part of the press release stated as follows: “While the Chinese authorities are harassing Uyghur Muslims using all brutal tactics such as preventing them from practicing rituals and attending mosques by closing them down, and preventing them from fasting in the blessed month of Ramadhan, and banning virtually all Islamic rituals, up to the recent establishment of large detention centers, holding behind its walls over one million Muslims, in campaigns allegedly aimed at “countering terrorism” under false pretexts with the slogan: “vocational training”, while arresting intellectuals, scientists, thinkers and university professors. All this is to spread terror and instill fear in the hearts of Muslims to submit to the dilution of their adherence to the Deen of Islam.”

As the letter concluded, it is the Khilafah Rashida (rightly guided Caliphate) on the method of Prophethood, which will come soon, by Allah’s permission that will bring the victory to our oppressed brothers in East Turkistan, and will hold accountable all who oppressed them and stood against them. The Prophet (saw) said,

«إِنَّمَا الإِمَامُ جُنَّةٌ يُقَاتَلُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ وَيُتَّقَى بِهِ» “The Imam is a shield, behind whom you fight and protect yourself”

And then neither China nor others will dare to hurt a Muslim, because they will realize that whatever they do will be brought back to them doubled. And Allah is the Strong and Powerful.
