The government claimed that Akramiya was an extremist group with ties to Hizb-ut Tahrir.
Yet others have claimed that Akramiya is a splinter group from Hizb-ut Tahrir which tried to stop young people from joining the latter organisation.
Akramiya suggests that economic success and prosperity is the key to an Islamic way of life, and that part of business profits should be diverted to help the poor.
The question is whether Akramiya is a terrorist group, a persecuted religious sect or, indeed, if it exists at all.
Akramiya was founded in 1996 by Akram Yuldoshev, a 29-year-old math teacher from Andijon, site of much of last week's violence.
Regardless, the Akramiya Islamic Group, being outside the official state-sponsored Islamic religion, remains banned, and anyone associated with the group faces arrest.
