It was the kind of calling that Petr Jasek simply could not turn away from. For more than 28 years, the Czech Republic native and global ambassador for international nonprofit The Voice of the Martyrs (VOM) had traveled the world in support of persecuted Christians.
And then...While preparing to board a flight home from the country’s capital Khartoum, the Christian leader was detained on charges of espionage and purporting to “wage war against the country of Sudan.” He was informed he was facing the death penalty and thrown into a filthy cell.
Although it was seemingly designed for just one person, Jasek was caged with six other cellmates – who he quickly learned were members of ISIS.
The men...were all young and “highly intelligent”– doctors, pharmacists and computer engineers..
one...jihadist was released by then ruler Muammar Gaddafi and went on to pledge allegiance to the notorious ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi before severing the heads of 21Coptic Christianson the Libyan shores in February 2015. The fellow inmates lauded the Libyan as “the man of the sword,” whose hands were still figuratively saturated in the blood of the nonbelievers.
But the initial curiosity the ISIS terrorists had toward their new devoutly Christian cellmate quickly gave way to brutality and beatings.
“They started to treat me as an infidel, calling me a filthy rat and a filthy pig. I was not allowed to move on my own; they forced me to answer their questions,” Jasek recalled. “Then started the physical attacks – fists to my face, kicking my legs with their shoes still on. They used a wooden stick to beat me and experimented with other modes of torture.”

He as placed in solitary and also move around prisons, where he preached the gospel to some. Finally, in the spring of 2017, 445 days after he was imprisoned, Jasek was released after as behind-the-scenes negotiations finally came to fruition, in answer to pray, thanks be to God.

Wow. Intense story.
Thank you.
After the ‘court’ sentenced him to life imprisonment that is when he figured he had nothing to lose and started preaching.
And the things we complain about here.

SUFFERING FOR BEING A CHRISTIAN
1 PETER 4:12-19
Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.
If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler.
However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name. For it is time for judgment to begin with God’s household; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God? And,
“If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”
So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
I was transferred to the prison with the largest Muslim population in the UK for a C cat prison. I was then put on solitary confinement where I spent two months not seeing or speaking to anybody.
And they used the reason that I was in danger. Now, they would have had risk assessment before I went there. I was purposely taken to be put in danger, so that then that reason can be used to then put me on solitary confinement.
And if you think about what has happened in this case, it took a number of hours to take me for a court, prosecute me, unlawfully imprison me. And then it took two months with the prisons moving me to prevent my legal access, shortening my legal visits, and it took months before I got the opportunity to go before a judge.
Once a judge heard what happened in the trial, we found so many illegal and wrongdoings within this kangaroo court that then it took another two weeks before I was freed.
And to be honest, this whole encounter, if you talk about - I haven't eaten. I have lost nearly 40 pounds in prison. I had one tin of tuna and a piece of fruit a day.,,,(refused prison food because the islamics were in charge of the food...Spokeshave)
I was supposed to be in Her Majesty's prison service, not Guantanamo Bay. I couldn't open my windows because I have excrement and spit put through them. I believe this whole piece - and, Tucker, this isn't the first -
CARLSON: I'm sorry to be interrupt, but who was putting excrement through the window through your window and spit through your window?
ROBINSON: So, my prison cell that I was put in was on the lower level, the ground level, which it didn't have to be. So, it was on the ground level.
So, every prisoner would walk past my cell window. Everyone, as they walk out. So, when my windows were open, every prisoner is walking past. But the mosque for the prison was directly opposite my cell.
And we've huge heat waves. I was actually drenched today. And I have excrement and spit thrown through the doors - threw my window. So, in the end, I had completely blocked-up windows. I had to block up all of my cell windows.
And all of this, when I say - to a lot of people around the world, this current case, and the world has watched it, has shocked them. For me, this has been nothing new.
There are some things I have not spoken about in the past. In 2012, I spent five months in solitary confinement in the British prison. This goes against every human right and every law.
I spent five months. When I come out, I was diagnosed with a form of post-traumatic stress disorder. I've never spoken about that publicly because I don't want to insult members of the military who have witnessed war and try and compare being locked in a cell in solitary confinement to that.
But my medical records are fully aware, the authorities are fully aware and the government are fully aware and the prison services are fully aware of them. They know what that did to me. They know what I went through after that. <[> CARLSON: May I interrupt you? I just want our viewers to understand why this happened to you in the first place. You went to prison in a supposedly free country for expressing unfashionable opinions in public.
This last round, you've been in jail for two months, did you hit anybody, did you steal anything or did you say something the government didn't like?
ROBINSON: There was a court case going on where 29 people were in court for gang raping up to 100 young children.
Now, I stood outside of the court and I spoke. And all I had done was read a BBC news article, a BBC news article that is still online now for millions of people to see. And I was taken.
And everyone would I watch the video. They said for a breach of the peace. They transported me to a police custody. And then, my solicitor contacted the police custody. Then, they emailed my solicitor. So, the solicitor has this email, saying I was being released.
Then they took me in a van back to the court through the back door. They put me up before a judge. And the media reports have said that I pled guilty. At no point was I even asked whether I was guilty or not guilty.
I was not even told - and I still, to this point now, have not been told and do not know what it is I'm deemed to have done wrong. In a British court of law, for a fair trial for anyone, they have to understand what it is they are being accused of. Contempt of court, that's all I've been told.
What contempt of court? I was fully aware, outside that court, I made sure to point out that these men are innocent until proven guilty. I said alleged. I was nonconfrontational.
The judges - and I know the law. The judges have no power to issue reporting restrictions on anybody or any information that is already in the public domain.
I was taken and whisked away. And what we're seeing this week is that the highest judge in our country has completely condemned this is flawed, completely criticized the handling of this case, the kangaroo court style it was to imprison me.
And my biggest concern with it is, at this time, that when this has happened and so many people - I say thank you to the Middle East Forum and thank you to Congressman Gosar, thank you to Ambassador Brownback, thank you to yourself, Tucker.
People who have come out - because we know that, in this country, anyone who tweets about Islam (INAUDIBLE). The minute you criticize Islam, you are deemed and attacked by everybody.
And people put their neck on the law -
CARLSON: Let me just ask you now. Did anyone defend you? I mean, even if people disagree with you, you would think some would say he has a right - this man has the right to express his opinions. Did anybody defend your right to say what you think is true?
ROBINSON: Every one of authority and every media company, mainstream media lined up to completely do hatchet jobs about why I should be in prison and how I deserve to be in prison.
The worst one, I'm reading a human rights lawyer. The human rights lawyer defending why I should be in prison. Now, I'm prison. I'm facing absolute - they know what they are doing to me.
At the time that I was in prison, they then come and see me in my prison cell and say, please, don't tell them the way to your house because there's intel there's going to be acid attacks against your wife.
CARLSON: I am sorry. Tommy, we're out of time. And on that sad note, I wish you good luck in recovering from this and on the time you're going to take off. And I just want our viewers to understand that this has happened in a country that we believed was free. And without our vigilance, it could happen here. That's not hysteria. It's real. Tommy Robinson, thank you very much.
ROBINSON: Thank you.
Best to read the article before judging. I think his preaching was in word and deed before being transferred to a receptive mix. "But the initial curiosity the ISIS terrorists had toward their new devoutly Christian cellmate quickly gave way to brutality and beatings.“Then started the physical attacks – fists to my face, kicking my legs with their shoes still on. They used a wooden stick to beat me and experimented with other modes of torture.” Christian leader Petr Jasek was held for 445 days in Sudan, spending a large portion in a cell with ISIS operatives At one point, Jasek’s body was forced into such arduous positions for extended periods that he was not even able to walk for days on end..."
Many "Christians" are not manifest to be so.
Just another proof that these people are radicalized by our leftist universities and not just by islam specifically.
Even Saudi Arabia do not want these pieces of garbage in their own country.
Bomb Harvard, not Sudan.
Where violent criminals are released so they do not get a sickness which most do not need medical care for.
Yes, meanwhile,
Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. (Hebrews 13:3)
Yes.
We’re in perilous times. Christians must intercede and support the persecuted.
Good advice, which is why I did exactly that before posting. As Paul Harvey would say here is the rest of the story: And although Jasek knew deep down that Christians across the world were praying for him and diplomats spanning Europe and beyond were advocating for his release, the ruling gave him a new lease on life. “Once, sometimes twice a week, I would preach to the hopeless, the desperate, and the forgotten prisoners. I knew we were being monitored, but I had nothing left to lose. I had already been sentenced to life imprisonment so there could be no more penalty on me,” Jasek said. “I saw the way their lives transformed through the gospel, and that was the most important mission of my life.”
“I was sentenced to life imprisonment.”
...and now you know the rest of the story.
Voice ,
Thanks. That is a damming account, and though it does not tell the whole story, at least according to mainstream reporting, the reality remains that the West - in its own war against the God of the Bible - has made anti-Christ Islam a type of sacred cow, and wants to censure all who expose and oppose it.
