The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Uzbekistan has announced a wanted notice for one of the propagandists of the terrorist group “Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham,” which recently seized power in Syria. The individual in question is a citizen of Uzbekistan who not only participated in combat operations in the Middle East but also actively created and distributed video materials promoting terrorist activities via social media.
According to law enforcement, the suspect is Khudoyor Nuriddinov, known by the alias “Abuvali.” He was born in 1994 in the Rishtan district of Fergana region. Criminal charges have been filed against him for terrorist activities, and he has been officially declared wanted.
Investigative findings reveal that in 2016, Nuriddinov traveled to Russia as a labor migrant. There, he fell under the influence of international terrorist organizations, which drastically changed his life. He later moved to the Syrian city of Idlib, which has become the primary stronghold of “Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham.” From Idlib, he launched an active propaganda campaign, resulting in the recruitment of several Uzbek citizens into combat. Some of these recruits have since perished.
Currently, Khudoyor Nuriddinov continues his criminal activities using social media platforms, including YouTube. He disseminates videos under the guise of religious motives and calls for jihad. His accounts are banned in Uzbekistan, and the storage, distribution, or viewing of videos involving him is considered a criminal offense.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Uzbekistan reminds citizens that storing, distributing, or sharing content related to terrorist activities carries criminal liability. Authorities urge the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious online activity.
“Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham,” one of the dominant groups among today’s victors in Syria, is the former “Jabhat al-Nusra,” previously an affiliate of ISIS. The organization unites jihadists from various factions, with individuals from Central Asia playing a significant role. For instance, the “Katibat Tawhid wal-Jihad,” an Uzbek-Kyrgyz division, operates within the structure of “Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham.”
