The High Court has dismissed an attempt by the far-right agitant Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, better known as Tommy Robinson, to challenge his jail conditions. Yaxley-Lennon argued that his segregation at HMP Woodhill in Milton Keynes, was destroying his mental health and breaching his human rights. Dismissing the case, Mr Justice Chamberlain said Yaxley-Lennon’s own barrister had accepted there was no evidence his client had been segregated “for the purpose of breaking his resistance or humiliating or debasing him”. 44 On the contrary, all the evidence shows [the decision] was taken for his own protection and in the interests of preserving the safety of other prisoners and staff” He himself had said, when first detained at HMP Belmarsh, that he had a conflict with the followers of Islam. It was thus understandable the governor should be concerned that Mr Yaxley- Lennon’s presence might foment unrest or violence between Muslim and non- Muslim prisoners. The former leader of the English Defence League, known for organising racist and violent protests, was handed an 18-month sentence in October after admitting he breached a court order which had told him not to repeat lies about a Syrian refugee. Yaxley-Lennon has a long history of criminality and has been found guilty of offences including multiple assaults, mortgage fraud, faking a passport, stalking, contempt of court and various public order offences.
