In a devastating blow to freedom of speech, Tommy Robinson faces months in solitary confinement in one of the UK’s most dangerous prisons – the Guantanamo Bay of British prisons for terrorists – for publishing his latest political documentary “Silenced.” He is expected to serve at least 9 months of the 18 month sentence. Tommy was NOT convicted of a crime; he is being held for civil contempt of court, yet he is being held in a prison for terrorists and murderers.

REBEL News Tommy was immediately taken away to Belmarsh prison, the most notorious prison in the UK, a high-security facility filled with terrorists and murderers. Tommy will be held in solitary confinement there, as the British prison system is controlled by Islamic prison gangs, and were Tommy in the general population, he would surely be attacked.

Nine months in solitary confinement is an extremely unusual sentence, as it is generally considered to be a form of psychological torture, and many jurisdictions no longer permit it for that period of time. 

Tommy’s defence lawyer, barrister Sasha Wass, KC, pointed out that unlike many cases of contempt of court, Tommy was not self-serving — he didn’t lie under oath, commit perjury or otherwise try to slyly benefit himself. The “contempt” in this case was publishing an investigative documentary into matter of public interest. That made the sentence even more shocking: in the UK, the government is now the final arbiter of what’s a fact and what isn’t, and a prison term awaits for those who are off-side.
