Tommy Robinson, the former English Defence League (EDL) leader, has been remanded in custody after turning himself in at a police station in Folkestone, Kent. Robinson, whose legal name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, faces a charge for failing to provide the PIN to his mobile phone as required under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000, which permits authorities to stop individuals at UK ports to determine any involvement in terrorist activities.

The 41-year-old was initially detained at the Channel Tunnel after leading a protest in London, later leaving the country on unconditional bail. Robinson returned to the UK last weekend and spoke to supporters outside the police station before surrendering, expressing doubt about being released.

Robinson will appear in Westminster Magistrates' Court on November 13 for this charge. He is also facing a contempt of court case with a possible jail sentence at Woolwich Crown Court. A High Court judge had issued a warrant for his arrest after he missed a previous court appearance in July regarding the contempt allegations.
