A former London postman has been charged in a German court with offences related to mass murder whilst he was serving with the Islamic terror group ISIS. Harry Sarfo is already serving a term of imprisonment in Germany for involvement in other terror offences and The Independent news website (h/t ROP)has said that a federal prosecutor has charged Sarfo with six counts of murder and violating human rights law.
The Independent said:
A former London postman who joined Isis has been charged with involvement in a mass execution in Syria.
Harry Sarfo, who is already serving three years in a German prison for terror offences, was not accused of murder until footage of the massacre emerged last year.
The federal public prosecutor’s office said he was charged with six counts of murder and violating human rights law at a specialist state security court in Hamburg.
“In mid-June 2015 the so-called Islamic State had six prisoners executed on Palmyra’s market square,” a spokesperson said.
“Sarfo belonged to the six-member squad that carried out the execution and he was armed with a pistol.
“Together with other members of his group, he guarded the prisoners and prevented them from escaping.”
Prosecutors said Sarfo led one of the captives to the middle of the street, where they were then shot, adding: “During the shooting, he stopped at the side of the road so as not to be hit by a bullet himself.
“From there, he took aim and fired at the bodies lying on the ground.”
In an interview with The Independent in January 2016, the 28-year-old said he never fought for the terror group during his three months in the “caliphate”.
While failing to mention his own involvement in the atrocity, Sarfo named his worst memory of Syria as the “execution of six men shot in the head by Kalashnikovs”, identifying it as one of the events that drove him to flee the terrorist group’s “barbarity”.
This disgusting Islamic thug was only relatively recently walking freely round London delivering people’s post. It doesn’t seem to have taken much to turn ‘Postman Savage’ from ordinary British Muslim into ISIS murderer. The ease with which Muslims turn from ‘moderate’ to ‘savage’ is remarkable and may well have something to do with the fact that the Koran is a ‘big book of death’ that encourages the hatred and murder of anyone outside of Islam.
This case has a twist in that the savage Sarfo is now apparently claiming that he was some sort of victim who was duped by ISIS and that he wants to use his experience in Syria to help other Muslims avoid extremism. Yeah right, pull the other one it’s got bells on. Sarfo is probably touting this line to reporters and police in order to get a reduced sentence. Sarfo was not a child, he wasn’t coerced into going to Syria and it doesn’t seem from video that the Independent has seen that he was coerced into herding prisoners into a town square in order that they be murdered.
Here’s Sarfo’s attempt to play the penitent.
Since being jailed he has spoken out against Isis’ ideology and said he wants to work with young men and women at risk of radicalisation.
“I’ve realised that what they are claiming to be Islamic is totally un-Islamic,” he told The Independent in an interview conducted via his lawyer from prison.
“I came to the conclusion that this is not the path to paradise, it is the path to hell.”
I’m going to go out on a limb here and call Sarfo a liar. He had plenty of opportunities to discover what ISIS was really like and say no. He had plenty of information available to him that would have shown him the sort of murders and enslavement that ISIS were involved in and he made a conscious decision to join these murderous savages.
‘Postman Savage’ doesn’t have a leg to stand on when it comes to his pretend penitence. He’s been seen and shown to be an active and willing asset for ISIS and despite his protestations that he is a changed character he is the very last person who should be allowed anywhere near any sort of anti radicalisation programme.
I suppose the people of Britain should feel somewhat grateful that not only is it the Germans who are picking up the tab for this bastard’s bed, board and legal representation but also that he decided to go ‘full Islam’ in Syria and not murder people on a crowded Tube train or in a bar somewhere instead. From mailman to murderer in just a few easy steps and all it took was to add a little bit of Islam.
