Tommy Robinson Surrenders to Police in Kent

News summary

Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, has been remanded in custody after voluntarily handing himself in at a police station in Folkestone, Kent, on charges related to the Terrorism Act 2000. He is accused of failing to provide the PIN for his mobile phone and is set to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on November 13. Robinson is also facing a contempt of court case due to alleged breaches of a 2021 High Court ruling that barred him from making libellous claims against a Syrian refugee. Following a protest in July, he left the UK but returned last weekend before surrendering to police. Robinson is expected to lead a rally in London, which will be met with a counter-protest, and authorities have arranged a significant police presence to ensure safety. His legal troubles could result in a possible jail sentence as he faces multiple claims of contempt related to his activities since the High Court ruling.
