Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, known as Tommy Robinson, faced dismissal from the High Court regarding his challenge against segregation in HMP Woodhill. The court found no evidence to support his claims of degrading treatment or human rights breaches, asserting his segregation was for safety due to threats from other inmates. Despite admitting to having a complex mental health history, including PTSD and ADHD, and a prior substance abuse issue, the judge ruled that his treatment did not warrant judicial intervention. Yaxley-Lennon's refusal to join a unit for vulnerable inmates further complicated his legal position.
Yaxley-Lennon's claims of degrading treatment fell far short of the evidence needed for the courts to intervene on human rights grounds.
The High Court has thrown out an attempt by far-right activist Stephen Yaxley-Lennon to challenge his jail conditions.
