Abstract
Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI) is a transnational Islamic group that has a political agenda to establish an Islamic state or an Islamic caliphate government system. Since its legal entity was revoked and dissolved by the government, HTI has turned into an underground struggle movement that continues to carry out political movements to achieve its goal of implementing the Islamic caliphate system. The question is how the HTI movement after being dissolved, especially in relation to HTI's political communication. This study aims to determine the communication approach and political movements of HTI after its dissolution. To answer these objectives, researchers used descriptive qualitative research methods. Involves HTI activists, political experts, and the public as informants. The results of the study found that after being dissolved, HTI was still practicing political communication unopenly. This movement uses social media as a political communication approach as it is considered effective and does not violate government regulations. This open political communication was carried out as a form of protest to the government that HTI was legally dissolved, but in fact, the HTI movement still exists through various social media platforms. This effort is also recognized as a form of commitment by HTI activists in conveying the purpose of da'wah to the community.
