Tommy Robinson
has long been a target of the U.K. authorities impatient with his criticism of
Islamism. The Middle East Forum (MEF) is helping Robinson in
his moment of danger. It does so in the context of its
Legal Project which since 2007 has defended
activists, journalists, politicians, et al. who face harassment, fines, or
imprisonment because of their views concerning Islamism and related topics. MEF
is sponsoring and organizing the second "Free Tommy Robinson" gathering in
London on July 14. MEF previously provided all the funding and helped
organized the first "Free Tommy Robinson" event held June 9 in London.
