Tommy Robinson, the founder of the English Defence League, has been charged following his attendance at a rally against antisemitism in central London.
Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley Lennon, was arrested near the Royal Courts of Justice in London, where the demonstration began. Organizers of the march, which saw an estimated turnout of 100,000 people, had previously requested that Robinson not attend the event. The Metropolitan Police confirmed that Robinson had been charged with failing to comply with a Section 35 direction, which excludes a person from an area.
