Tommy Robinson faced trial Monday for terrorism after reportedly refusing to unlock his phone, claiming to protect “journalist material.”

Robinson, 42, was stopped and detained by British police en route to Benidorm, Spain, while at the Channel Tunnel on the British side, according to The Independent, citing a court appearance. The incident took place back in July 2024 and he was charged under his real name, Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, the BBC reported. He gave a not guilty plea at Westminster Magistrates Court.

Citing Schedule 7 of the 2000 Terrorism Act, officers requested that Robinson provide the PIN to unlock his phone, according to The Independent. “Not a chance, bruv,” he allegedly responded while saying he was a journalist and that his phone held information about “vulnerable girls.” (RELATED: Toddlers Could Legally Change Gender Under New European Union Proposal)

In a video shared Monday by Robinson, he claimed he was afraid that granting police access to his phone could result in them intentionally tampering with off-the-record sources. He alleged that police were involved in covering up activities by “Islamic grooming gangs” targeting young British girls.

Robinson has at least four prison terms in the last 20 years, ranging from contempt of court to assault and fraud, according to The Week.

Upon returning from a mid-hearing lunch break, Robinson told Urban News Scoop that the trial is a “total abuse of the legal system” claimed it was the second time he has been held unlawfully by the authorities in recent months. He also said he has not been able to rest due to 15 years of legal actions against him.

The court heard that Robinson was detained for driving alone in a Bentley SUV that was not under his name while carrying more than £13,000, according to The Independent.

Reuters reported that Elon Musk, a supporter of Robinson on X, was bankrolling his defense.

If convicted, Robinson could face a £2,500 fine and/or up to three months in jail, according to The Independent. He has denied the allegations against him.

The Terrorism Act allows police to stop individuals passing through a British port “to determine whether they may be involved or concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.” The individual detained can be held for as much as six hours, must answer queries and must turn over PINS or passwords for electronic devices. Failure to do so can lead to criminal charges.

Tommy Robinson faces trial today: I refuse to give police access to Muslim rape gang victims’ information, I refuse to fail the victims

This morning, Tommy Robinson heads to court to face charges under the Terrorism Act for refusing to hand over the pin number for his mobile phone to police at the Channel Tunnel terminal.  The two-day trial is taking place today and tomorrow.

At 8 am this morning, while travelling to court, Robinson tweeted a video message explaining why compliance with the police wasn’t an option – it would have put his sources at risk.

Demonstrating the intense state persecution he has been subjected to over the years, he said, “This is the 1,642 time I’ve been in court.”

“Today I face prison for being a journalist and not allowing the state to have the information from my phone,” he said.  “If you’re the British public, did you want terrorism legislation to be passed so that journalists could be grabbed off the street and have no right to remain silent?”

He gave an example of why he didn’t give the police access to his phone. “During my investigations to speak about sexual exploitation of children and the rape by Islamic grooming gangs, one survivor sat me down, camera’s on, and she said, ‘What I’m about to tell you now Tommy, never leaves you’.”

Robinson agreed. “And then she divulged certain information to me that I was totally unaware of which was about something else, which shocked me.”

“But, I gave her my word, as a source of my information, that that would never leave me,” he said, meaning he would not divulge his source to anyone, not even the police.

“Now, the police want access to everything,” he said, waving his phone to the camera, indicating the police wanted access to his phone.  He explained to the police, who wanted access to his phone, that in the hotspots where gang rapes were occurring, victims gave statements to and handed over their evidence to the police.   But the evidence, “all went missing.  This is fact; this is what the police were doing.”

So when the police interviewed him and asked for access to his phone, Robinson said, “So, you want me to give you [the police] access to this [my phone] that then gets put into a system that you and all your bent Muslim police officers, or whatever police officers that are working with the gangs around the country, have access to [information] from survivors that have been failed by the police, the courts, everyone’s failed them.”

“I refuse to fail them, I refuse to let you [the police] have access to this [information], I’m not giving you it.”

For not giving them access to the information on his phone, access to information about victims of rage gangs, Robinson is facing trial and possibly a prison sentence.

As promised, Robinson’s team is live-streaming events from outside the courthouse today.  The live stream can be found on YouTube HERE and Twitter (now X) HERE.

The description under the YouTube video states:

Today, the state is putting me on trial, again, this time using “terrorism” legislation.

As before, I am not being judged by a jury of my peers, but solely by a state-appointed judge.

As always, I expect to go to prison on these trumped-up charges.

If you can make it to my trial at Westminster Magistrates today, October 13, and tomorrow, October 14, I will greatly appreciate your support.

We are running a LIVE stream right here for viewers across the world.

If they can do this to me, they can do this to you.

Ezra Levant, a Canadian journalist for Rebel News who is at the trial, is posting live updates on the court proceedings on Twitter.  One of the tweets reveals how the police are changing their story:
