Widespread Islamist influence in British high-security prisons and threats to prisoners to convert to Islam

The Scepter reported on the widespread influence of Islamists in a British maximum security prison and the threat of prisoners converting to Islam.

The Scepter magazine reported on the maximum security prison of Frankland in the UK that radical Islamists have infiltrated the prison and are forcing prisoners to convert to Islam, and that prisoners who refuse to convert are being threatened by Islamist prisoners. As a result of these threats, some prisoners have been forced to be in separate sections from Islamist prisoners for their lives.

The prison is a maximum security prison for men located in the Braeside area of ​​Durham, and is home to terrorists and dangerous murderers. Ian Huntley, the child killer in the Soham case, is also held there.

Tony Wyatt, a leading British criminal lawyer, said in an interview with the Times newspaper: "The number of Muslim gang members in prison is so high that it is no longer possible to control the problem. The reality is that segregation units have become a haven for people who are targeted by these extremist gangs. Prisoners who resist Islamist gangs, are unwilling to convert or oppose them, are transferred to these units to save their lives."

The Spectator, referring to Tony Wyatt's statements, wrote: "The fact that prison officials have lost control over prisoners to this extent is shocking and could have deadly consequences."

A man named Simon, a former prisoner at Belmarsh Prison (another high-security prison in Britain that houses a high population of Muslims and terrorists), said he was not surprised to hear the news.

Simon was released from Belmarsh Prison in 2020, telling the Spectator: “The Islamist gangs were very powerful and influential at the time. I remember a young prisoner called Sudesh Aman being influenced by radical Islamists during his sentence. They also realised that Aman was not intelligent and was looking for a purpose in life. I was concerned about this and reported it to a senior prison officer. Aman was released from prison on 23 January 2020 and was killed by police just two weeks later after attacking and stabbing two people on the streets of Streatham, London.”

Simon added in another statement about the prison: "The situation in Belmarsh was different. Muslim prisoners there were protecting a criminal who had committed horrific rapes. No Muslim prisoner cared what crime their fellow Muslim had committed, because religion was more important than anything else. Also, if someone attacked a Muslim prisoner, they would all take revenge."

While the British Prison Service has dismissed the claims about this high-security prison as false and denied these reports, according to the Spectator, for those aware of the nature and extent of the Islamist threat in British prisons, these claims seem entirely credible.
