From the\u00a0Evening Standard<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

English Defence League founder Tommy Robinson claimed he was arrested for breach of the peace outside a courthouse in Leeds.<\/p>\n

The right wing activist was streaming a Facebook live video outside Leeds Crown Court, where a grooming trial is reportedly underway, on Friday morning.<\/p>\n

Robinson, real name Stephen Lennon, can be seen being led towards the back of a police van and searched in footage posted to his Facebook page.<\/p>\n

He can be heard saying: “I’m being arrested? I am being arrested…I’m ‘causing a breach of peace’…I’m being arrested for breaching the peace.”<\/p>\n

…Officers can be seen leading Mr Robinson into the back of a police van while reading him his rights.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

His supporters said they fear that if he’s sent to prison he’ll be killed by Muslim gangs:<\/p>\n

\n

Tommy warned us about these rape gangs. <\/p>\n

You laughed and called him a racist <\/p>\n

Tommy will die in prison at the hands of these gangs. <\/p>\n

You will laugh and say it served him right <\/p>\n

Then you will remember YOU have a daughter #TommyRobinson<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/CkT9s3UA5i<\/a><\/p>\n
