Singer Akon made the word "Locked Up" more popular with his hit Album and Track, sadly, that phrase resonate more pain than what the media says when an individual is sentenced to prison especially when it comes to Freedom of Speech.
Stephen Yaxley-Lennon aka Tommy Robinson is the newest and freshest victim of Censorship, like Julian Assange, his journalism has caused him some time behind bars, the Censorship behind Freedom of Speech has made him less of a public figure, most especially when the Queen of England and other powerful figures needs a scapegoat.
The British far-right campaigner has been an Anti-islam activist, denoucing Sharia Law and had led several movement against the Government. Recently he has been given a nine-month jail sentence after being found in contempt of court for live-streaming footage of defendants in a 2018 criminal trial.
two senior High Court judges at London's Old Bailey found Robinson guilty in breach of a reporting ban. He was sentenced on today Thursday the 11th of July 2019 just like Assange few months ago.

He is not a victim of censorship. In the UK we have very strict laws surrounding the reporting of court cases. More specifically, the media is not allowed to report on a court case until it has been concluded. This is done to protect the victims' privacy but also not to contaminate the jury and cause a mistrial. Tommy was outing the identities of victims and jurors on facebook live and encouraged his viewers to engage in vigilante justice.
His actions could have directly caused these pedophiles to go free due to a mistrial. Luckily this crisis was averted and they were sentenced to prison. But Tommy's actions could have easily set them free. For someone claiming to be fighting these pedophiles, no one has done more to help them than he has.
We have laws in the UK and he ignored them. That is why he is going to prison.
The only people that are complaining about his sentence are people who do not understand the free speech laws of the UK.

You say complaining huh? Is Julian Assange a Briton too? You have laws, but this law has more politics in it than your UK free speech Laws!

Julian Assange is an Australian citizen. He has nothing to do with Britain and I disagree with his extradition to America. That is politics, but it has nothing to do with Tommy Robinson and his actions so I have no idea why you brought that up. Tommy broke the law and endangered vulnerable young child victims with his actions. He belongs in prison.

Freedom of speech is a one way act. Some can say everything, others have to shut up.
