Thread:Comments:Czech diplomats secure release of Polish 'terrorist' in Syria/Lucky escape

I fully doubt Panek was guilty but he must have looked damn suspicious; an unexpected foreign national preaching conversion in a country where Islamic State amongst others loom large is not a safe thing to be.

His mental health seems to be the main thrust of his actions and it's a stroke of excellent luck the Czech embassy has stuck it out in Syria and was willing to step in. Not that I expect the Szydlo administration to be tactful negotiators, but they were on the back foot from the start.
