Some members of the group, however, say they have no affiliation with the insurgents.
Officials contend that the leaflets incite violence.
The Islamic group is most active in southern Kyrgyzstan, which has a significant ethnic Uzbek population. Concurrent with a crackdown against unsanctioned religious activity, officials have targeted human rights activists. In perhaps the most prominent instance of official harassment, Ramazan Dyryldaev, the chairman of Kyrgyz Committee for Human Rights fled the country last summer after officials issued a warrant for his arrest. He found asylum in Austria. Officials allege Gapirov had been involved in extortion.
