Suryaa Now International Desk: Prominent right-wing political activist from Britain Tommy Robison (real name Stephen Access-Lennon) is in legal trouble.... British right-wing political activist Tommy Robison (real name Stephen Access-Lennon) is in legal trouble. Southwark Crown Court found him guilty of seriously harassing two journalists from the Daily Mail newspaper and causing them to fear violence. The inquest heard that Robison had made the threats against an article previously published during the Southport riots.
Prosecution lawyers argued in court that Robison, who was outraged by the press reports, had exposed the journalists' personal details and pictures of their family members online. It was revealed in the investigation that journalists and their families had to leave their homes and hide in fear of their lives due to this terrifying environment. Apart from tracing the home addresses of journalists using private detectives, allegations of direct threatening messages were also substantiated. After a long trial of about a week in this case, the members of the jury issued a majority verdict.
Robison was convicted on two separate charges of intimidation and intimidation of journalists. The court is expected to pronounce the sentence soon, while the UK media is in a frenzy over the incident, which has been seen as a violation of press freedom and a threat to the safety of reporters.
