Tommy Robinson, also known as Stephen Yaxley Lennon, has recently been arrested in Canada after speaking at an event. The right-wing founder of the English Defence League was taken into custody by plain clothes officers in Calgary, Alberta. This has caused quite a stir in the media, with many speculating about the reasons behind his arrest.
According to Robinson, he was held on Monday and subsequently released, but with certain conditions. He has been ordered to remain in the country and surrender his passport. In a post on social media, he expressed his confusion and frustration, stating that he has been prevented from leaving the city and continuing his planned tour of Canada. He also mentioned that he is not even allowed to travel back home. This turn of events has left him feeling perplexed and uncertain about his future plans.
Robinson's trip to Canada was organized by Rebel News, a far-right website that focuses on political and social commentary. The founder of Rebel News, Ezra Levant, has even asked for donations to cover Robinson's legal fees. In a video posted by Rebel News, Robinson can be seen uttering profane words directed towards Justin Trudeau while sitting in the back of a police car. He was told that his arrest was due to an outstanding warrant.
In another video, which was supposedly recorded secretly by Robinson inside the police car, he can be heard arguing with the officers, questioning their actions and the motives behind his arrest. He also mentions the irony of being arrested for giving a talk at a seminar while the country allows unknown individuals with questionable backgrounds and ideologies to enter freely.
The officers inform Robinson that his arrest was ordered by the director of the Canada Border Services Agency. This revelation only adds to the confusion and frustration felt by Robinson. He questions the country's priorities and how easily they turn a blind eye to immigration issues, yet take swift and aggressive actions against him.
Robinson denies any accusations of lying on his application for entry into Canada. He claims that someone else filled out the form on his behalf and he was unaware of any discrepancies. This statement is met with a sarcastic response from one of the officers, who points out the irony of Robinson speaking about criminal history. This interaction highlights the tense and confrontational atmosphere surrounding Robinson's arrest.
The reasons behind Robinson's arrest and the subsequent conditions imposed on him remain unclear. What is certain is that this incident has sparked a heated debate and has divided opinions among the public. Some see him as a champion of free speech, while others view him as a divisive figure promoting hate and intolerance. Only time will tell how this situation will unfold for Tommy Robinson in Canada.
