Tommy Robinson 'arrested under anti-terrorism laws' following London march

SUMMARY

Tommy Robinson has been arrested under anti-terror laws following a complaint about a film shown at a protest in London. His verified Twitter account announced, “We can confirm that Tommy Robinson has been detained by police using powers afforded to them under the Terrorism Act 2000.” A crowd of about 100 demonstrated outside Downing Street, demanding his release and chanting slogans in support.

Details of his arrest location remain unclear, with Kent Police denying involvement. Robinson previously faced a High Court hearing regarding a controversial documentary he screened at the protest, which involved legal disputes related to defamatory claims made against a Syrian schoolboy.
