Political prisoner in the UK: EDL’s Tommy Robinson in long-term solitary confinement

Jan 23, 2013 8:57 am By Robert Spencer

Those who think that Tommy Robinson is being treated this way in prison because of a passport violation probably also believe that Muhammad filmmaker Mark Youssef is in prison because of a parole violation. Clearly, he is being given this harsh treatment because dhimmi British officials want to make an example of him for anyone who might want to resist their dhimmitude and Britain’s Islamization.

Update on Tommy’s situation from Nemesis (thanks to Ashwin):

He’s been put on the block in segregation again, most of his clothes have been taken, he has no socks, he’s been told he can only have 3 showers a week and he has been told his family can only visit at 9am in the morning, so that means his wife and kids need to be up and out for around 5.30-6.00 am for the journey. It’s basically worse than Wandsworth!

And here is word from Tommy himself (transcriptions thanks to Pamela Geller, who has more here):

I thought I’d write a quick note to compare a normal prisoners weekly routine with my routine.

Normal Prisoner Routine:

10am – Cell door open, play pool, table tennis, use phone and socialise
11.30am – Locked up
12.00pm – Get lunch and remain in cell
2.00pm – Cell doors open, play pool, table tennis, use phone, socialse
4.30pm – Locked up
5.00pm – Get dinner, doors remain open for social games etc
7.30pm – Cells locked for evening

On top of this each prisoner gets access to gym, 45 times a week, they get to play football, they get to work, they get education, they can also get ‘enhanced’, meaning extra visits from family, extra weekly money to spend etc. They also enjoy a TV, radio, etc.

My Prison Routine:

10.00am – Door opens for shower, put straight back in cell after
12.00am – Door opens, given lunch, door closes
2.00pm – I get let out of cell for 1 phone call, I’m then locked back up
5.00pm – Door opens, I’m given dinner and locked back up.

I have no TV, no gym, no education. I have nothing, no talking to other prisoners. I cannot get ‘enhanced’ because you can’t whilst on ‘Seg’ [segregation] . When ‘enhanced’ you can have a pillow, a duvet etc.

I am on ‘Seg’ [segregation], not through choice, the system has put me there for my own safety. I am held under ‘Good’, meaning I have not done anything wrong. If I have not done anything wrong why am I being PUNISHED! I am not even allowed to attend Church!

Prisoners cause trouble, ie stabbing screws, setting fire to their cells yet get more privilages than I do. They still get access to the gym. I am being victimised and mentally tortured in a cell with no TV for NO reason other than my political views and my criticism of Islam.

Long term solitary confinement and ‘Seg’ [segregation] is not good for someones mental health, so why are they doing it? I see that I will be in [?] for many more months to come. I do not see these conditions acceptable for an animal let alone someone on ‘Good’! Its the year 2012 almost 2013, I really didn’t think they held prisoners like this anymore. There are other prisoners being held on this ‘Seg’ [segregation] unit under ‘Good’. THEY HAVE A TV.

I have not asked once to be held under segregation, infact the opposite. I have asked to be on ‘normal’ location, time and time again, so I can enjoy the same freedoms other prisoners have!

I had a legal visit earlier, there were 5 rooms with prisoners seeing their briefs, me and 4 bearded mullah’s, they looked like they had seen a ghost when they spotted me sitting there. Gave me a bit of a laugh.

If I plead ‘guilty’ on 7th of January my brief says I’ll be out in April, if I plead ‘not guilty’ it won’t even be at trial by June?? Double edged sword! Gonna sit and think about which way to go.

I am 100% sure that I am being treated this way in order to break me, to break my willingness to fight! Its never going to happen, I came into prison fighting and I’ll leave prison fighting.
