Tommy Robinson, a British far-right activist whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, has been charged under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act for failing to provide the PIN code to his mobile phone following an incident in Folkestone on July 28. He was remanded in custody and is expected to appear in court on Monday. Robinson was arrested ahead of a planned demonstration by his supporters in central London on Saturday, October 26, which he will now miss. The rally was expected to be attended by thousands and was scheduled to begin at 11:30 am at Piccadilly Circus. The Metropolitan Police stated that his arrest was to ensure his attendance at the upcoming court hearing. The charge relates to his refusal to unlock his mobile phone, which police say is required under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act.
