Tommy Robinson arrested in Canada for ‘immigration offences’

Must read

Tommy Robinson has been arrested in Canada for suspected immigration offences.

A video posted online shows Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, being handcuffed by two plain-clothed police officers.

The 41-year-old is told he is the subject of “an outstanding immigration warrant” and he is then led away.

Robinson was arrested shortly after giving a speech in Calgary, Alberta on Monday.

He has since been released but had his passport seized, according to his social media channel.

Robinson wrote online: “OK I’m free, well, sort of. None of this makes sense, I’m now detained in Calgary, prevented from leaving the city, these conditions stop me from continuing my tour of Canada and meeting with guests for podcasts.

“I’m not even allowed to leave to travel home.”
