Robinson was lawfully stopped at the border due to suspicious circumstances. His refusal to provide his phone PIN violated standard terrorism prevention laws used thousands of times yearly, not targeted persecution. Robinson is once again attempting to misconstrue his illegal activities as some form of justification for a far-right resurgence in the U.K.
Robinson's terror trial is an example of dangerous political prosecution designed to silence dissent and drive him from Britain. Irrespective of anyone's beliefs about Robinson's activities, the state's censorious approach using draconian anti-terror laws against a political activist should alarm anyone who values free speech and civil liberties.
