SUBJECT: SEVENTH CONGRESS OF THE ISLAMIC RENAISSANCE PARTY OF 
TAJIKISTAN 
 
DUSHANBE 00001422  001.2 OF 002 
 
 
1.  (SBU) Summary: During the Islamic Renaissance Party of 
Tajikistan's Seventh Congress on 25 September 2007, the party's 
delegates elected Chairman Muhiddin Kabiri to another four-year 
term.  Kabiri outlined his plans to continue modernizing the 
party and to attract additional support from young people in 
different parts of Tajikistan.  He said recent government 
crackdowns on religious practice have made the party more 
popular in Tajikistan.  Taking a cautious line, he expressed the 
need to make concessions to the Government in some areas, but 
also referred to the Government's recent actions as a form of 
"secular extremism."  End summary. 
 
 
 
2.  (SBU) PolOff attended the Islamic Renaissance Party's 
Seventh Congress on 25 September 2007.  138 of the party's 178 
delegates attended the meeting from various parts of Tajikistan, 
including Dushanbe, Kulyob, Khujand, and Zarafshon.  This 
quadrennial meeting of the party's regular congress covered 
three main issues: the Chairman's report on the activities of 
the last four years; the Report of the Commission on Inspection; 
and the election of the party's Presidium, or governing council. 
 Party delegates elected 49 members of the Presidium, including 
two who are in prison: Mulloh Qosim Rahimov, and Shamsiddin 
Shamsiddinov.  The Presidium has been expanded to 49 members 
from 42, reflecting the growth in membership in the party. 
Party delegates also re-elected Kabiri as Chairman for another 
four year term. [Note: Kabiri was elected Chairman in 2006 after 
the death of the party's founder, and technical reasons 
necessitated a vote at this party congress. End note] 
 
 
 
3.  (SBU) Kabiri divided his report into two periods.  In the 
first period, from 2003 - 2005, under the leadership of Said 
Abdullohi Nuri, the party had to contend generally with 
worldwide pressure on Islam and Islamic organizations in the 
post-September 11th environment.  In the second period, since 
2006, the party has had to contend with increasing governmental 
restrictions that Kabiri termed "secular extremism."  He thanked 
local embassy representatives in attendance for sponsoring 
various kinds of exchange programs, adding that open 
communication with these embassies has helped the party overcome 
some of its image problems. 
 
 
 
4.  (SBU) Kabiri highlighted some party successes, including 
participating in the 2005 Parliamentary elections and increasing 
party membership.  He mentioned that the party could count on 
40,000 supporters, of whom 25,000 are actual members (only 
12,000 carry membership cards).  There are approximately 2,800 
members in the Isfara area, and 1,500 in the village of Chorku 
alone (both in the Sughd region).  At the current time, the 
party has representation in all but five districts and 
settlements in Tajikistan. 
 
 
 
5.  (SBU) Kabiri stated that his main goal was to continue 
modernizing the party.  As membership in the party continues to 
rise, he wants to focus more on the quality of its members.  He 
was proud of the fact that he kept the party united following 
Nuri's death, and that the party enjoyed good cooperation with 
the local government, embassies and international organizations 
in Dushanbe.  Kabiri attributed part of this success to his 
ability to make concessions to local officials that served the 
interests of the party.  He did emphasize, however, that he 
would make concessions only up to a certain point.  He wants to 
continue to build trust within the party, as well as within the 
Government.  He also outlined the party's desire to continue 
working with the youth of Tajikistan.  He said that he had 
recently met with students in different parts of the country, 
and he believed that the country's youth could be an important 
constituency in the party. 
 
 
 
6.  (SBU) One of Kabiri's key points was that the Government has 
ratcheted up its anti-Islamic campaign in Tajikistan, citing the 
ban on wearing the hijab, the closing and demolishing of 
 
DUSHANBE 00001422  002.2 OF 002 
 
 
unregistered mosques, and the ban on women praying in mosques. 
He criticized the portion of the draft law on religion which 
bars a political party from having a religious affiliation as 
being unconstitutional.  He stated that the Government views the 
party as a kind of disease, which if treated properly, would go 
away.  Kabiri termed the Government's increasingly authoritarian 
actions as "secular extremism." 
 
 
 
7.  (SBU) Kabiri said that the threat of religious extremism in 
Tajikistan is currently low, for which the Islamic Renaissance 
Party can take credit.  The party attracts individuals who are 
opposed to the Government's restrictions and might otherwise 
join extremist organizations.  He said that the best way to 
prevent religious extremism in Tajikistan was to protect human 
and religious rights within the framework of the law.  He argued 
that if the Government continued to use excessively 
authoritarian measures, the people would elect a new party to 
power, as in Turkey.  (As Kabiri finished this line, the 
audience cheered, and many called out "Allahu Akhbar!"  Kabiri 
quickly took steps to quiet the crowd and tone down the 
appearance of religious fervor in the presence of government 
observers.) 
 
 
 
8.  (SBU) Atmospherics: An enormous picture of Nuri hung on the 
main stage.  Approximately 15 women attended the congress and 
sat at the back of the auditorium (they all wore hijabs, and two 
had their faces fully covered).  The male delegates wore a mix 
of business suits and traditional Tajik garb.  Also in 
attendance were the Iranian and Afghan Ambassadors; 
representatives from the Turkish Embassy and the Organization 
for Security and Cooperation in Europe; other political parties, 
including the Social Democratic Party of Tajikistan; Tajik 
government officials, including representatives of the Ministry 
of Justice, and local press.  Kabiri sat on the stage, along 
with Party Deputy Chairman Jalolidin Mansurov and Chief of the 
Inspection Committee Muhammadali Faizmuhammad. 
 
 
 
9.  (SBU) PolOff met separately with Kabiri and senior party 
officers in Dushanbe on 28 September 2007.  Kabiri reiterated 
the figure of 40,000 supporters, but it did not appear as though 
the party has a particularly accurate means of assessing its 
figures.  He expanded on the party's strategy to court 
Tajikistan's youth, remarking that he has received a large 
number of invitations to speak at universities and other venues 
outside of Dushanbe.  Party officials also believe they have a 
significant amount of support among migrant workers in Russia 
and elsewhere, but have had difficulty coordinating party 
activities abroad.  Senior party members will begin traveling to 
Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkey and Kyrgyzstan to tap this support. 
Kabiri spoke of the challenges the party could face if and when 
the new law on religious organizations is passed.  The law would 
prevent political parties from having religious affiliations, 
and the party would have to re-register under a different name. 
 
 
 
 
10.  (SBU) Comment: The Islamic Renaissance Party's support base 
appears to be growing, and this is likely thanks to increasing 
government restrictions on religious practice, and a 
deteriorating economic situation on many parts of the country. 
The party has been able to capitalize on the growing 
disaffection of younger Tajiks.  However, Kabiri did not outline 
a concrete parliamentary platform, and it is unclear whether the 
party can stand in serious opposition to government supporters. 
The focus of the party is cultivating new members.  Passage of 
the law on religious organizations will be an important event 
for the party.  Government officials may not allow the party to 
re-register.  If the party can re-register by dropping its overt 
religious affiliation, some party supporters may shift 
allegiances to organizations that have stronger religious 
affiliations, such as Hizb-ut-Tahrir.  End comment.
