Tommy Robinson to Remain Segregated After High Court Rejects Legal Challenge
The court upheld Robinson's segregation at HMP Woodhill, citing credible threats to his safety, while dismissing claims of political motivation.
- Tommy Robinson, serving an 18-month sentence for contempt of court, has been segregated at HMP Woodhill due to credible intelligence of threats to his life, including plans by other inmates to harm him.
- The High Court dismissed Robinson's legal challenge, ruling that his segregation is necessary for his protection and not politically motivated.
- Robinson's segregation conditions include enhanced privileges such as access to a laptop, gym, extended visiting hours, and phone calls, which exceed standard segregation norms.
- Robinson's legal team argued that the isolation is harming his mental health, citing a reactivation of PTSD and alleging that the segregation is politically motivated due to his activism.
- Robinson is scheduled for release on July 26, 2025, and faces additional legal proceedings later this year, including charges under the Terrorism Act 2000 and for breaching a stalking order.
