Jamaica: Druglord arrested
Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke, the alleged Jamaican druglord who is facing extradition to the United States, has been captured, after a manhunt for him triggered deadly unrest across Kingston last month. ‘The security forces wish to confirm reports that Christopher Lloyd Coke, for whom police are holding a warrant of arrest regarding extradition proceedings, was arrested,’ Police Commissioner Owen Ellington said. Local church leader Rev Al Miller earlier said that he had ‘helped in the process to hand over Coke’. The church leader had helped in negotiations to ease tensions after a police operation to capture Coke that left 73 people dead in a Kingston slum. (See Prayer Alert 2210) Jamaican police backed by troops descended on Coke's stronghold in the impoverished Tivoli Gardens slum last month seeking to arrest him. Praise: God for this answer to our prayers for the cleansing of Kingston. (Ps.145:1)

Pakistan: Christian child enslaved
An 11-year-old Christian boy, Sanish Masih, is malnourished, weak and ill from working in slave-like conditions for a Muslim landowner who kidnapped him and forcing him to work off his family’s debts. His mother said, ‘He is frequently invited to convert to Islam by the landowner, Ashraf Cheema, and in return he is promised to be freed from the iron chains, his work will be eased, he will be served better meals, and the debt of his father and brother might also be forgiven. According to Dawood Masih of the National Commission of Justice and Peace, ‘Danish Masih works without break from 4am to 11pm, often in iron chains, on half a loaf of bread per day. At press time local Christian leaders had petitioned the deputy superintendent police to recover Danish Masih. Pray: for an end to the explotation of the weak and poor by the rich and powerful.
