The takbeers of Sardar shakes the thrones of the tyrants and stuns the judge with severe dizziness
Sardar Kaya, the believing shab, strong and God-fearing by Allah’s leave, went to Erdogan, the Prime Minister of Turkey to hand him an open letter from the Hizb accounting him for injustice and betrayal of Cyprus and his abandonment of the Muslims. This shab was tried on 9/3/2005 after he had spent more than two months in prison since he was arrested on 4/1/2005.
The following charges were levelled against him: the first; that he is a member of an (illegal) Hizb and second; that he formed a threat to the safety of the Prime Minister where the court presented copies of the letter which Sardar presented to Erdogan and considered it as if it is a terrifying sharp weapon.
The shab listened to the two charges and responded saying: Yes, I am a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir and I undertake deliberate contacts with people to bring them to work with the Hizb for resuming the Islamic way of life, by establishing the Khilafah Rashidah. I distribute leaflets and anything else the party issues. Then he said: I do this knowing that this work is against your law but I do it in compliance with the law of the Lord of the worlds.’
After this he began his defence speech saying bismillahir rahmanir raheem in Arabic, the language of the Qur’an. The judge was shaken and interrupted him saying: read in Turkish! Don’t speak in a language we don’t understand. The believing shab did not pay attention to him; he rather continued to send blessings on the Prophet al-Mustafah al-Mukhtar, his pure family and pious companions, speaking in the language of the noble Qur’an. The judge was fuming with rage and warned him to stick to the charges in his defence speech only in the Turkish language and not go beyond that. The strong and God-Fearing shab said: ‘the clarification of the reality of charges you have levelled against me cannot be separated from the clarification of the reality of the system you implement, and the clarification of the correct system which we are obliged to implement, which is the Khilafah system. As for your objection to the bismalah; I am a Muslim and a Muslim must begin with the bismillah in the language of the noble Qur’an.’ The Shab then followed this with takbeer. The judge was unduly seized by his self-respect. So, instead of the takbeers bringing him to his senses and thus saving him from his error, instead he was enraged even more, whereupon he instructed the police forces to expel Sardar from the court. Immediately the courtroom was filled with chants of takbeer protesting against the judge’s stance and at the same time approving and supporting Sardar. The gathering in the court continued chanting their takbeers loudly. The judge then shouted: these people in the court are from Hizb ut-Tahrir or supporters of Hizb ut-Tahrir. He then ordered the security services personnel to arrest everyone in the court. Later on he allowed women and the elderly to be exempted and ordered their departure from the courtroom. Then he arrested those present, totalling up to 42 people, and ordered that they be interrogated in the anti-terrorism branch! Then the court was adjourned till 27/4/005.

A member of Hizb ut-Tahrir who wanted to hand a letter to Erdogan created confusion by shouting the takbeer in court. And following this 42 people were arrested.
The case filed against the accused, Sardar Kaya, for the charge of membership of Hizb ut-Tahrir, who had been arrested by the personal guards of Prime minister Tayyip Erdogan while attempting to hand him a letter during the programme he was attending, the first of which took place in Balbala.
The first hearing was held today at the supreme criminal court number 11 in Ankara. Kaya was in attendance with his lawyer Samir Altinkaynak.
After confirmation of the information on Kaya’s ID card and informing him of the charge levelled against him in the case filed by the state prosecutor he answered questions posed to him by the chief judge Orhan Kiradinez regarding whether he was a member of the organisation or not.
Kaya answered ‘yes I am a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir and I undertake deliberate contacts with people in order to win them over and I distribute leaflets and literature’ He also added: ‘and I know that what I do is against your law’. After Kaya answered the questions he began his defence with bismillahir rahamanir raheem. The judge Kiradinez interrupted him warning him not to go outside the remit of the charge levelled against him. Kaya said: do you not want us to clarify our viewpoint about the system you implement! I am a Muslim and of course I will begin my defence with bismillah.’ Then he began to say takbeer.
Then judge Kiradinez ordered the police forces to expel Kaya from the court. After this those present began to say takbeer as well and did not stop until the police intervened.
Kiradinez ordered that women and the elderly be removed from the courtroom. The police forces began to check the ID cards of the 42 people who were present in the courtroom.
After the recess, Altinkaynak, the lawyer, gave the defence speech on behalf of his client saying that his client has been deprived of making the speech himself and that expelling him from the courtroom in this fashion is against the law. Altinkaynak demanded the release of his client because Hizb ut-Tahrir is not a terrorist organisation.
Judge Kiradinez said that it is clear that those present who had took part in saying takbeer with Kaya were supporters of the Hizb ut-Tahrir organisation. That is why he decided to open a case against them and banned them from attending the next meeting. Kiradinez added that he decided to reject the lawyer’s demand to release the accused.
After reading the decision explanation, the public prosecutor of the state security for this hearing, Salim Demirji, gave instructions to the police to arrest the 42 people who had been confined in the courtroom. They were then transferred to the second court room of the state security in Ankara which was empty and they were kept there.
In the prosecution presented by the public prosecutor against Kaya he demanded that Kaya be imprisoned for 3-5 years according to the law of fighting against terrorism, first paragraph, from article 1/7 beginning with ‘terrorist organisations, and the second sentence.
Kaya was arrested by the personal bodyguards of prime minister Erdogan while he tried to hand over a letter when he was attending the information seminar organized by the ministry of trade and industry, department of protection of supervision and consumption, in Blikint hotel in Ankara.………………..

Before that on the dawn of Tuesday 1/2/2005 the Turkish state security, the secret service in particular, undertook a raid on the houses of the shabab of Hizb ut-Tahrir in Ankara in a terrifying manner with complete disregard for the sanctity of the house and the women, children and elderly who live there. At what time did this happen? It happened while the believers were heading to pray (fajr) safe and tranquil, where the regime’s henchmen were heading to terrify them!
Not only that, if they did not find the person they were looking for they would arrest his father or brother as a hostage in his place.
Thus we saw them take two people hostage in place of their brothers and they arrested two others from the supporters and not from the Hizb and then they arrested 5 shabab from the Hizb.
Turkish newspapers and the Anatolia Agency published reports of the arrests quoting the Turkish anti terrorism branch; ‘…members of the organisation are organising the distribution of leaflets to worshippers coming out from the Jummah prayer and on the street squares and in post boxes wishing to send them to the highest bureaucratic levels…’ Despite this the anti terrorist branch describes the Hizb by saying: Hizb ut-Tahrir, the terrorist, as mentioned in their statement.
They are the oppressors but they are frightened by the word of truth and they shake for fear that the truth will be exposed. They are stupefied by the light because they live in the depths of darkness and the corridors of injustice and darkness until they come to consider a leaflet which clarifies the word of truth as terrorist!
Then the anti terrorist branch in the directorate of Ankara security said in their statement regarding the arrests: ‘…the activities of the above party aims to revive the organisation of the party…’ These people have no shame. The Messenger of Allah (saw) said the truth when he said:
«ÅÐÇ áóã ÊÓÊÍíí ÝÇÕäÚ ãÇ ÔÆÊ»
‘If you have no shame then do whatever you will.’ Anyone who reads the beginning of their statement regarding the shabab’s distribution of leaflets to worshipers in the mosques and the streets, post boxes, civil and government institutions, in different areas of Turkey and the highest levels of bureaucracy….a hizb which does all of this as mentioned by the henchmen of Turkey……a hizb which does this, is it dead and needs reviving or is it alive and it stuns them wherever it goes? It is alive by Allah’s Leave because Allah, His Messenger and the Muslims in Turkey are with it and the Khilafah is coming with it as well by Allah’s leave. They will definitely hear of its news soon by Allah’s Leave, the Lord of the worlds.
These are just some news we wished to send to you in the broadcast which speaks the truth so that you may spread it to the people, drawing attention to the fact that we have previously sent the statement of the media office regarding the recent arrests mentioned above.
Also we have written to you about the strong and God fearing shab Sardar, by Allah’s leave, when he approached Erdogan to give him the open letter, he terrified them with his Imaan and courage and then the henchmen surrounded him and arrested him on 4/1/2005. Then on 9/3/2005 they prosecute him and could not even bear to listen to him saying bismillah or the takbeer. They even arrested those present in the court because they supported him, where they responded to his calls for takbeer and shouted it, takbeer after takbeer. His prosecution was delayed because of the takbeer he gave and the takbeer of those present, until 27/4/2005.
Finally, your brothers in Turkey are steadfast on the truth by Allah’s Leave and yearning for the victory as if it is before them. Their hearts are full of Imaan, so their enemy became despicable before their eyes.
