A English free speech activist has been sentenced to 13 months in jail for filming on a public street in Leeds, Yorkshire, England today.
Tommy Robinson, Founder of English Defence League, was arrested outside a court for filming as members of an alleged grooming gang reported to court for trial.
Robinson was officially arrested for “suspicion of breaching the peace.”
He was then sentenced to 13 months in jail because he was on a suspended sentence.
Robinson was given a suspended sentence for contempt of court in May 2017 after he tried to film four Muslim men who were on trial accused of raping a teenage girl. Citizen journalism and freedom of expression are frowned upon in England.
He has long documented the savage behavior of Islamic “refugees” who have been brought to the West, and for this he is despised by the leftist British government.
“Grooming gangs” as they are called in England are nothing more than child sex trafficking rings. The Orwellian term is used to sanitize the behavior because Muslims are the prime culprits of such activity.
In fact, 29 Muslims were part of the trial that Robinson was filming – eight of them named Mohammad, he remarked.
Robinson has found support among other free speech activists, including Canadian journalist Lauren Southern:
Southern was recently deported from the U.K. under the National Terrorism Act.
Whether Robinson will survive the prison sentence is a serious question. Islamic gangs are prevalent inside British jails, and that could spell trouble for Robinson.

NOTE: All three parts of the legal process (arrest, trial and sentencing) happened TODAY, something the article sort of implies but doesn't actually say outright. I've heard that his trial was just about an hour long but I haven't been able to confirm this yet. There is also a countrywide ban on reporting this topic in the UK.
