British free-speech activist and Islam critic Tommy Robinson was arrest and sentenced on Friday for reporting live on camera from outside a UK courtroom where several Muslims were being tried for child rape. Within just a few hours, he was tried, convicted, and sentenced to 13 months in jail. The judge also issued a gag order, completely blacking out the press.
Robinson’s life is very much in danger and supporters fear his death if he is held among the general population at Hull Prison, owing to the large number of Muslim gang members held there.
