High Court Upholds Tommy Robinson's Prison Segregation for Safety

The court ruled that Robinson's segregation at HMP Woodhill is necessary due to credible threats to his life, rejecting claims of inhumane treatment.

Tommy Robinson, serving an 18-month sentence for contempt of court, remains segregated at HMP Woodhill following intelligence of credible threats to his safety.
The High Court dismissed Robinson's legal challenge, stating the segregation is essential to protect him and maintain prison safety and order.
Despite segregation, Robinson has access to a more permissive regime, including extended phone use, numerous visits, and personal items like a laptop and DVD player.
Robinson's legal team argued that the isolation is harming his mental health and claimed it might lead to long-term consequences, including substance abuse.
The Ministry of Justice maintains that the segregation is solely for Robinson's protection and denies allegations of political motivation.
