Akromiya is an Uzbek organization founded by Akrom Yo'ldoshev. The 2005 opening called it "an Islamist militant group in Uzbekistan, Central Asia, banned under the current Uzbek government." Today's opening calls it only "an Islamist organization," and the word does not appear anywhere in the article. A reader today does not learn that Akromiya was described as a militant group or that it was banned by the Uzbek government.

The opening as it read in 2005
Akramiya is an Islamist militant group in Uzbekistan , Central Asia , banned under the current Uzbek government. Akramiya is a splinter group of the outlawed Hizb ut-Tahrir political movement (which advocates non-violent Islamic revival in the region). Formed in 1996 , under the leadership of Akram Yuldoshev, of Andijan , the group believes that while the aims of Hizb ut-Tahrir are correct, non-violent methods are not suitable to achieve them. It is reported that leaflets distributed by Akramiya condone and encourage suicide bombers.1
