Here is a message from Imran Firasat, the ex-Muslim in Spain who previously had been slated for deportation to a Muslim country, where he would face certain death:
After Spain revoked my asylum and issued an expulsion order only because I produced a documentary on Prophet Muhammad´s life, in June 2014 I left Spain and went to Norway for seeking asylum but the so called human rights-respecting land of the Nobel Peace Prize “Norway” cowardly sent me back to Spain, ignoring my request for protection.
On 28th July 2014 on my arrival to Spain, the Spanish authorities detained me for extraditing me to Indonesia over false and religiously motivated charges which were fabricated in order to take me to an Islamic territory, shut my mouth forever and punish me for revealing the hidden facts about Islam and Muhammad. In order to get me extradited from Spain, the Indonesian Islamic police convicted me in absence during a rapid and illegal judicial process, without informing me of the charges and without giving me a fair trial or right to defence.
Despite that during the extradition trial in Spain my lawyer proved all the lies, irregularities and contradictions committed by the Islamically-influenced Indonesian authorities, the Spanish judiciary blindly approved my extradition, ignoring all my arguments and proofs as for them it was not a matter of following the law but it was an opportunity to get rid of me as the government of Spain considers me a threat for the national security due to my opinions on Islam.
The judges didn´t care that for expressing my views publicly on Islam I have received several death threats from the Indonesian radical Islamic groups. The judges didn´t even take into consideration the fact of my conversion from Islam to Christianity, which is a serious crime of apostasy punished by death according to the Islamic Sharia law. They didn´t want to see the fact that after writing about Islam for 10 years, producing various videos on Islam and appearing in international media with my picture and real name, how could I stay alive and be protected in an Islamic country like Indonesia, which is the home of biggest Muslim population on earth?
On the one hand, the director of prison in Spain kept me in solitary confinement for the reasons of my safety and physical integrity, saying that my life was under threat from 150 Muslim prisoners (only 150!), and on the other hand the Spanish judiciary approved my extradition to an Islamic country, where I would be surrounded by millions of Muslims who consider me the enemy of Islam and any Jihadist or radical Muslim would kill me inside the prison, considering it his religious duty of eliminating infidels, apostates and blasphemers.
The Spanish penal code, constitution, asylum law and many international human rights conventions signed and ratified by Spain, such as: “European Convention on Human Rights, International Covenant on Political & Civil Rights, International Convention against Torture” do not allow Spain to deport or extradite someone to a country where the person would be subject to torture and death but in my case the Spanish judiciary closed its eyes and gave the green signal for sending me to my certain death. It was purely a political decision which was taken due to the pressure and fear of Islamism.
Looking at the sky from behind the bars of prison, I used to ask myself that the punishment for freedom of expression should be so cruel that someone loses his life? Why can Muslims kill people whenever and wherever they want, but I do not even have the right to protest against that just because they will respond with the violence and intimidate the Western governments who then persecute us and deprive us from our most valuable right of freedom of expression?
My lawyer appealed against the decision of the Spanish High Court´s Judges. But neither me nor my lawyer were expecting justice as the things were moving in such a political way that I finally prepared my mind that now I am going to be sent to Indonesia where the Islamists will brutally torture and kill me due to my opposition towards various aspects of Islam which I consider incompatible to the democracy and laws of our free modern world.
But the Lord Jesus Christ heard the prayers of people around the world. I am free now. Just a month ago the Spanish High Court approved my extradition and there was no chance to change that decision through an appeal, but my appeal was dramatically accepted by the Spanish judges. They rectified the mistake of the previous judges and ordered my immediate release, refusing my extradition to Indonesia.
I had lost all the hopes and was waiting to be put on a plane anytime, which was of course end of my life and also of my family. But the miracle took place. Lord Jesus Christ sent his angels to protect me. Last week on Friday at 7 pm I was given the notification of my freedom, which was a big surprise for me and my lawyers.
I am still too tired, traumatized and confused. I still can´t believe that after facing so much suffering finally I am free, while just few days ago I was on the brink of being sent to my death. Spain has persecuted me politically a lot. But as a true Christian I must forgive. The Spanish authorities always knew that the charges against me are false and that eventually I won´t be extradited but they still tortured me for 4 and half months. May Lord Jesus Christ forgive them.
Although my extradition is refused but I am still at risk in Spain, as the expulsion order is still valid and after coming out of the prison I was taken to the police station by police who were waiting for me at the entrance of prison. According to them, the expulsion order is a different thing which has nothing to do with my extradition´s refusal and they will execute my expulsion to Pakistan if I do not leave Spain voluntarily.
I don´t know for how long I will have to face all this. I don´t know what is going to happen in near future? But despite all the suffering I have faced I still do not feel guilty of anything as I believe that by speaking the truth about Islam, its prophet and its violent ideology I simply warned and helped the world, and above that I exercised my right of freedom of expression which is the most valuable part of our western society. Islam cannot snatch it from us by intimidating us through the violence. If for this good cause I may have to be imprisoned once again, I would do that happily as for me it is better to suffer and die rather than submitting and surrendering to Islam and live like a coward.
Thank you so much for all your help, support and prayers. Without your help I was not able to defeat the Islamic conspiracy. God bless you all.
Yours sincerely IMRAN FIRASAT
