The Afghan Government has banned Hizb-ut-Tahrir, a pan-Islamist organization, activities, arguing that it has not been registered by the ministry of justice, reports Afghanistan Times. On February 28, Vice President, Amrullah Saleh, wrote on Facebook that the “government of Afghanistan doesn’t recognize Hizb-ut-Tahrir”. He added that any activities of the “unbeknown and illegal network” would be banned.
