Tommy Robinson is being kept in isolation over fears he could be killed in a prison with a “significant Muslim population”, a court has heard.
The 42-year-old would be in danger at HMP Woodhill in Milton Keynes if he was moved out of segregation as there were tensions between “Muslims and non-Muslims” which would be “inflamed” by his presence, Ministry of Justice officials said.
At the High Court on Thursday, his lawyers requested he be allowed to bring a legal challenge over his isolation arguing that it was a breach of his human rights.
