Muslims hold Sharia trials and groom young in British prisons.

Following the same pattern of Muslims in New Zealand decades ago. These same radicals that Winston Peter’s Govt is pandering too now have become ‘normal’ islam in New Zealand!

Islamist extremists are presiding over Sharia trials, pledges of allegiance to ISIS and dishing out punishment beatings in UK jails, an ex-inmate has revealed.

Security experts are demanding an urgent review into radicalisation in British prisons after an ex-prisoner known as Jack told how he helped enforce Sharia in prison after meeting an extremist.

Jack told The Times how he befriended terrorist Brusthom Ziamani at HMP Woodhill and oversaw beatings with him and another inmate who was serving time for murder.

The killer, who the paper refers to as M in its investigation, lectured Jack, telling him the Queen is an enemy of Islam who should be fought to the death.

Jack and the other two Muslim converts brought two men before their ‘court’ for ‘disgracing the month of Ramadan’.

M told them: ‘You were caught drinking alcohol yesterday evening by the brothers. Due to the overwhelming evidence against you, we find you guilty despite your pleas of innocence.’

The trio then agreed to punish the ‘guilty’ men by beating them. Jack says that after the attack ‘the smaller one couldn’t open his eye, it was swollen completely shut, so we made him tell the screws he had fallen down the stairs’.

Jack says that he went along with the other two partly because he believed what they said and also because he was terrified of what would happen to him if he didn’t comply.

His claims come after police watchdogs revealed they are to probe whether London Bridge killer Usman Khan should have been watched more closely after his release from jail.

Khan – who stabbed two people to death on a knife rampage – was freed halfway through his 16-year sentence for terrorism without the necessary Parole Board assessment of his threat to the public.

Jack said Ziamani, who was a follower of the hate preacher Anjem Choudary, and his group had recordings of talks by al-Qaeda ideologue Anwar al-Awlaki.

The ex-prisoner said his former inmates have contacted him offering to help him travel to Syria.

In one account, he said a punishment beating was given to an inmate accused of disrespecting Islam by drinking alcohol.

The prisoner said he ‘chose to leave that life’ following his release. He sought spiritual help and remains a practising and peaceful Muslim.

Justice secretary Robert Buckland said the account was ‘very concerning’ but insisted that in the past four years ‘a great deal of time, effort and investment has gone into bearing down on the malign effects of extremism behind bars’.

Prof Acheson said the prisoner’s description of his experiences show prison and probation service ‘is still not capable of managing a serious threat to our national security’.

He added: ‘I’m disappointed that many of the recommendations I made in 2016 to robustly respond to this threat do not seem to have been adopted.

This implies a continuing serious failure of leadership and will to confront terrorism that I identified.

‘I urge the government to return to these recommendations as a starting point to check on the reality of counter extremism capability. If the Prison Service is not equal to the task of managing this lethal and destructive risk it should be divested of that responsibility.’

This year there were reportedly 13,000 Muslim inmates in England and Wales, making up 16 per cent of the prison population – doubling from 8 per cent of prisoners in 2002.

Richard Walton, former head of Scotland Yard’s Counter Terrorism Command, said that Michael Gove’s departure from the Ministry of Justice in 2016 had been ‘extremely untimely’.

Mr Walton, a senior fellow at the Policy Exchange think tank, added: ‘[Mr Gove] was intent on fully implementing the Acheson review and addressing the problem of radicalisation in jails across the country.

‘His successor [Liz Truss] did not treat this issue with the same urgency and appeared less keen on fully implementing the Acheson recommendations.

‘The Ministry of Justice should now revisit the problem of prison radicalisation in light of the recent attack. A full, transparent review of prison radicalisation and the measures in place to address it is now needed.’

Mr Walton added: ‘It is unsurprising that radicalisation continues to be a significant challenge, owing to the success in recent years of convicting high numbers of Islamist terrorists for plotting attacks in the UK and overseas.

‘Regrettably, it is not uncommon for covert counterterrorism investigations to start within prisons – they provide a conducive environment for the most hardline convicted Islamists to plot and conspire.’

The Ministry of Justice was last night approached for comment.
