The political imprisonment and government-ordered media blackout of journalist Tommy Robinson has sparked millions to protest worldwide.

Free speech advocate on both sides of the political spectrum have taken to the streets to protest the Orwellian decision by the British government to censor Robinson’s heroic reporting on Muslim pedophile grooming gangs.

Zerohedge.com reports:  Within six hours of his detention, Robinson was slapped with a 13-month prison term for violating a prior suspended sentence for a similar offense.

“A big police van with about seven police officers pulled up and arrested [Robinson] and told him to stop live streaming,” Robinson’s producer told RT (before their article (archived) was scrubbed from the internet). “They said it was incitement and a breach of the peace.

“No peace has been breached – there were two other people there and he’s been perfectly quiet talking into his phone. [The police] said nothing about the court proceedings. It’s very strange.”

Mass protests broke out following Robinson’s arrest – the largest of which was a crowd of thousands in the UK, demonstrating at the gates of Downing Street to demand the release of the conservative activist.

Hundreds demonstrated in the German cities of Berlin and Dresden, while German MP Petr Bystron has offered Robinson political asylum over concerns for his safety in prison.

“Tommy Robinson is a political prisoner, whose life is in clear and pressing danger. We have to do everything we can to make sure he is granted political asylum,” said the office of conservative German MP Petr Bystron in a Saturday statement provided to the Gateway Pundit’s Cassandra Fairbanks.

Dutch MP Geert Wilders showed up at the British Embassy in The Hague to deliver comments.

“I am here on behalf of millions. Freedom of speech is being violated all over Europe and also in Britain. Restore freedom of speech.” -Geert Wilders, Dutch MP

Wilders penned a letter to the Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs over the weekend with five questions about Robinson’s situation.

Robinson, 35, rose to fame as a conservative activist and founder of the English Defence League in Luton, Bedfordshire in 2009. After retiring from the party in 2013, Robinson has continued to advocate for British nationalism and against unchecked migration into Europe.
