A London court has convicted anti-Islam activist Tommy Robinson of harassment causing fear of violence. The jury found him guilty after a trial at Southwark Crown Court. Robinson, also known as Steven Christopher Lennon, was accused of targeting journalists with threats and intimidation.
The verdict follows a trial where prosecutors argued that Robinson's actions created a real risk of violence. The court heard evidence that his behavior had caused fear among media personnel. Robinson, a prominent figure in UK far-right circles, has been associated with the English Defence League.
Robinson has faced legal challenges in the past, including a 2018 conviction for contempt of court. His activism has drawn criticism for promoting Islamophobic rhetoric. The current case marks another legal setback for the far-right activist.
