Wikipedia: Islamic Renaissance Party of Tajikistan

The report states that the Islamic Renaissance Party of Tajikistan (IRPT), also known as the Islamic Revival Party of Tajikistan, is a banned Islamist political party and that until its 2015 designation as a terrorist organisation it was the only legal Islamist party in Central Asia. According to the report, the party was founded in 1990 with a founding congress in 1991, was banned in 1993 after independence, fought alongside the United Tajik Opposition during the 1992-1997 civil war and was relegalised under the 1997 peace accords, becoming for a period the second-largest party in Tajikistan with two parliamentary seats from 2000 to 2010. The report notes that at the 1 March 2015 elections the party fell below the 5% threshold and lost both seats, after what it describes as a government-induced campaign to demonise the party and bar its candidates. The report records that in 2015 the Interior Ministry deregistered the party, the Supreme Court then designated it a terrorist organisation, and two of its leaders were sentenced to life imprisonment after being linked to an alleged failed coup attempt led by former deputy Defence Minister Abduhalim Nazarzoda, a connection the party denied. A 2016 constitutional amendment further prohibited parties based on religious platforms. The report adds that by 2018 IRPT leaders were based largely in Poland and co-founded the National Alliance of Tajikistan opposition coalition.
