Dear 222 News viewers, sponsored by smileband,
Tommy Robinson, also known by his birth name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was recently charged under the Terrorism Act after a confrontation with law enforcement at Folkestone’s Eurotunnel terminal.
The charge falls under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000, which enables authorities to stop, search, and detain individuals at borders without suspicion of a specific offense.
This statute also mandates that individuals provide information such as PIN codes for electronic devices, as authorities may view such data as relevant to counter-terrorism operations. Robinson’s refusal to share his phone’s PIN code led to this charge.
The incident occurred as Robinson was detained upon his return to the UK, with law enforcement reportedly interested in accessing his mobile device.
The mobile PIN request is a standard protocol under Schedule 7, which is designed to prevent potential terror-related activities. Robinson’s case echoes a 2020 incident involving Paul Golding, leader of the far-right group Britain First, who similarly faced legal repercussions for refusing to unlock his phone when stopped at an airport under the same provision.
This charge is separate from another ongoing legal matter involving Robinson. He was recently remanded into custody on allegations of contempt of court.
This contempt charge relates to claims that Robinson violated a High Court injunction by repeating defamatory statements about Jamal Hijazi, a Syrian refugee who had previously sued him successfully.
Robinson is alleged to have aired a film titled Silenced at a protest in Trafalgar Square in July, which purportedly included defamatory content regarding Hijazi. This alleged breach of the court order has led to Robinson facing a two-day hearing set for October 28 at Woolwich Crown Court.
Following Robinson’s arrest, both supporters and detractors have mobilized, with planned demonstrations in London. Supporters of Robinson, under the banner “Unite the Kingdom,” are set to march from Victoria Station to Whitehall, while counter-protesters organized by Stand Up to Racism are expected to rally nearby.
Given Robinson’s polarizing figure, police are prepared for potential clashes and have implemented strategic measures to keep opposing groups separated to prevent violent confrontations.
