Petr Jasek knows what it’s like to be a modern-day Daniel in the lions’ den. For many months, this Christian missionary was locked in a cell with ISIS fighters, after being accused of spying in Sudan.
The Czech-born champion of persecuted Christians was caught photographing churches demolished by the state.
Petr faced a death sentence and was thrown in a prison cell with hardened ISIS fighters, and there he remained for many months.
