This Wikipedia article records that Uzbekistan bans Hizb ut-Tahrir as an extremist Islamist political organization, that the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan is listed as a United States designated terrorist organization tied to bombings in 1999 and 2004, and that Tabligh Jamoat and a broadly defined category of "Wahhabi" groups are branded extremist despite members' own descriptions of their activity as apolitical religious practice. It also records that the 1998 Religion Law's burdensome registration criteria left only 181 of 2,227 registered religious groups non-Muslim as of May 2007, with Baptist, Pentecostal and Korean Christian congregations facing persistent denial, and documents the Ferghana Jehovah's Witnesses congregation's deregistration in August 2006.

Reliability Tier3
A crowd sourced encyclopedia article used here for a list of banned and restricted religious organizations, independently corroborated by the same designations' documentation in United States terrorism lists and State Department reporting that the article itself cites, hence the lowest tier rather than exclusion.
