EDL ‘Tommy’ released from prison in Bedford and on bail for assault
No Caption ABCDE
THE leader of the English Defence League, Stephen Lennon, has been released from Bedford Prison on bail until his trial for assault at the end of this month.
Mr Lennon, who calls himself Tommy Robinson, was held in custody at Bedford Prison for a week after breaking bail conditions by attending a demonstration in London.
The EDL said their leader was on hunger strike while in prison, because he was a ‘political prisoner’ and because he believed the food served was halal.
While at Bedford Prison he is understood to have been kept in segregation both for his own safety and over concerns about disruption at the prison.
Mr Lennon denies assaulting a man at an EDL protest in Blackburn in April.
