Tommy Robinson, one of Britain's most controversial political activists, has been detained by UK authorities at Heathrow Airport under powers granted by the Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Act 2019.
Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, says he was held for nearly three hours, questioned by police, and had both of his mobile phones seized. Following his release, Robinson took to social media, posting: "I'm a terrorist again," while describing the incident as "absolute madness."
Authorities have not publicly explained why Robinson was detained, and the Metropolitan Police has declined to comment. The law used in the stop gives officers broad powers to question, search, and detain individuals at ports and airports when investigating potential hostile activities.
In this video, we break down what happened at Heathrow Airport, what the Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Act allows police to do, why Tommy Robinson's phones were seized, and what questions remain unanswered.
