Tommy Robinson faces harassment charges related to a video posted against two Daily Mail journalists, a jury heard in court. Prosecutors told jurors that Robinson is guilty of harassment because "we do not live in a vigilante world," according to reporting from The Guardian.
Robinson, identified as a far-right activist, posted a video targeting the journalists after they wrote about his alleged role in England's 2024 riots. In the video, Robinson said he would find the journalists and stated he had obtained details of where they and their families lived. He also warned them to follow "men's rules," the prosecution's summary of the case indicates.
The prosecution strategy focused on using Robinson's own words from the video as evidence against him. The case centers on whether Robinson's conduct constitutes harassment under law, with prosecutors arguing that vigilante action outside the legal system cannot be tolerated.
The trial represents a legal challenge to Robinson's conduct toward media outlets covering his activities. The specific allegations stem from his response to journalistic reporting on his involvement in the 2024 riots.
