Britain: Journalist, activist Tommy Robinson arrested for filming Islamic child rapists, judge tells press not to report on it
British officials arrested and jailed activist and journalist Tommy Robinson on Friday for reportedly filming Islamic members of an alleged child grooming gang going into court for trial.
Described as “right-wing,” Robinson’s case is muddled in conspiracy as the judge ordered the press not to report on the case.
Fox News notes that “Robinson, the former head of the English Defense League and a longtime activist against Islam and Islamic migration, was arrested after he was filming men accused of being part of a gang that groomed children. Britain has been rocked by a series of child sex scandals perpetuated by gangs of predominantly Muslim men.”
“Tommy’s lawyer said he will likely die in jail given his profile and previous credible threats, and the judge basically said he doesn’t care,” the source told Fox News, citing Muslim prison gangs. “He sentenced him to 13 months in prison.”
“What kind of police state have we become?” tweeted U.K. Independence Party leader and European MP Gerard Batten.
“I am trying to recall a legal case where someone was convicted of a ‘crime’ which cannot be reported on,” he added. “Where he can be cast into prison without it being possible to report his name, offence, or place of imprisonment for fear of contempt of court.”
“Arrested for “breaching the peace” while reporting on a Islamic grooming gang trial?” Dutch MP Geert Wilders tweeted. “Is this Saudi-Arabia?” Wilders also submitted parliamentary questions to the Dutch minister of foreign affairs on the matter.
