Tommy Robinson to go on trial charged with failing to provide Pin to phone
Tommy Robinson faces up to three months in jail or a £2,500 fine for allegedly refusing to provide his phone PIN under the Terrorism Act at the Channel Tunnel.
- Next week, Far-right activist Tommy Robinson will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court facing a charge of failing to provide his phone PIN under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act.
- Police at the Channel Tunnel cited Schedule 7 powers on July 28, 2024, allowing detention and requiring Robinson to provide his phone PIN during the stop in Folkestone.
- Robinson told the court he would not hand over the phone's PIN, saying it held journalistic material, while officers noted his vague replies and unusual ticket behaviour driving his silver Bentley to Benidorm.
- The charge carries penalties including up to three months in jail and a £2,500 fine, with refusal potentially leading to terror offences under Schedule 7.
- With prior sentences on his record, Robinson faces another trial, having served a 13-month jail term and an additional custodial sentence referenced in later proceedings, arriving at Westminster Magistrates' Court flanked by bodyguards and photographers.
