Far-right activist Tommy Robinson was denied permission to commence a legal challenge to his prison situation.
His real name, Robinson, was Stephen Yaxley Lennon, who was about to apply for a judicial review of the decision to separate him from other prisoners. He argued that it was politically motivated and would affect his mental health.
The risks from other prisoners were cited in written submissions by the Secretary of Justice attorneys to support Milton Keynes' decision to find him in the separation forces of HMP Woodhill.
The prison “lifers” planned to kill Robinson, and two other prisoners planned to attack him and earn “award and infamous,” the High Court said Thursday.
Robinson has sentenced him to 18 months for court empt for repeated false claims against Syrian refugees in violation of the injunction. He is scheduled to be released on July 25th.
In written Friday, Judge Chamberlain refused Robinson's application, saying there was nothing to suggest that the decision to separate him was taken with the purpose of breaking his resistance, feeling humiliated or babeing.
“On the contrary, all the evidence shows that it was taken for his own protection and to keep the safety of other prisoners and staff,” the judge added.
“It was not mere speculation that he would be in danger from Muslim prisoners. He himself said that when he was first detained in HMP Belmash, he had been in a “conflict” with his Islamic followers. ”
The judge mentioned the specific intelligence news of threats to Robinson, adding that various measures have been taken to improve the effects of prisoner separation, including threats to his life.
His mental health is properly and regularly monitored by prison psychology services and NHS professionals, and he is visited daily by NHS doctors or nurses.
The application to challenge Robinson's prison situation meant another prosecution allegedly using counter-terrorism forces to refusal to comply with police searches of his phone — has been delayed for several months.
Robinson was transported from HMP Belmarsh to HMP Woodhill in November. The High Court said in a written submission that the transfer came after death threats and racist abuse were directed on social media and then responded to the governor of Belmarsh, a black woman.
