Geert Wilders On Tommy Robinson: ‘Britain Behaving Like Saudi Arabia’ (Video)

The activist English leader of the EDL, Mr Tommy Robinson, is at the time of writing still imprisoned without due process in the UK whilst the press over there is gagged and banned from reporting on it.

For this reason, Mr Geert Wilders, the leader of the biggest opposition party in the Netherlands, recorded a video in front of the British embassy in Amsterdam pleading with UK authorities to release Mr Robinson before arguing that because of his arrest, the “UK is now behaving like Saudi Arabia”.

Mr Wilders stated: Mr Tommy Robinson, a freedom fighter and an Islam critic, was jailed, whilst the judge issued a gag order to silence the media”.

“Islam critics are going to court, jailed or targeted with Fatwas. The authorities try to silence us. However, Islamists are pampered, protected and defended.”

At the same time, the petition addressed to UK Prime Minister Ms Theresa May to free Mr Robinson has by now passed 450,000 signatures.

Mr Gerard Batten, a British MP and Independence Party Leader in the UK, stated: “I am trying to recall a legal case where someone was convicted of a ‘crime’ which cannot be reported on.”

“Where he can be cast into prison without it being possible to report his name, offence, or place of imprisonment for fear of contempt of court.”
