UK far-right activist Tommy Robinson pleads not guilty to harassment
LONDON: British far-right activist Tommy Robinson pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges of harassing two journalists, as dozens of supporters gathered outside the London court just days after he was freed from jail. Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, 42, pleaded not guilty at London's Westminster Magistrates' Court to two counts of harassment causing fear of violence. He was given the option of a hearing at a lower court, but instead opted for a jury trial at a criminal court. The firebrand anti-Islam campaigner is accused of harassing two Daily Mail journalists, Andrew Young and Jacob Dirnhuber, via his popular X account in August 2024. The prosecutor acknowledged however that the harassment did not contain 'direct threats of violence'. Robinson, who was wearing a cream jacket and jeans, was released on bail and is due to appear at Southwark Crown Court in London on July 3. He has become a champion for far-right and anti-immigrant factions despite several run-ins with the law. On May 27 he was released after spending seven months in prison for breaching a court order barring him from repeating false allegations he had made about a Syrian refugee. On leaving jail, he thanked technology billionaire Elon Musk for his X platform and slammed the UK government in a social media video. After the hearing Thursday he was met with dozens of supporters chanting his name and cheering at the central London court. Many wore Donald Trump-inspired MEGA -- Make England Great Again -- hats, carried English flags and wore 'Free Tommy Robinson' T-shirts. The former football hooligan, who founded the far-right English Defence League in 2009, has repeatedly been convicted for public order and contempt offences. He has also been blamed for helping fuel the country's worst riots in years in 2024, which he denies.

Police: Body in Bangsar lift shaft confirmed as missing British man [WATCH]
KUALA LUMPUR: Police have confirmed that the body found in the elevator shaft of a partially under-construction condominium in Bangsar is that of missing British backpacker Jordan Johnson-Doyle. City police chief Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa said a post-mortem examination showed that the cause of death was a chest injury due to a fall from height. "I can confirm that the body is that of the person who was reported missing on June 2," he said in a statement today. He said there was no evidence of foul play. The case has been classified as sudden death. "The victim's uncle positively identified the body as that of Jordan Johnson-Doyle, based on a tattoo on his body," he said. Earlier today, it was reported that police were searching for clues in the vicinity of the Lorong Maarof condo where the body was found. Policemen were also analysing closed-circuit television footage from the area. They were also looking for the deceased's personal documents. Police on Wednesday had traced Johnson-Doyle's movements to the condominium at 4pm. A 30-strong team of police personnel conducted a search of the entire building. Around 5pm, a body was discovered in a partially submerged elevator shaft in a building section that was still under construction. The body was found in an isolated area. Johnson-Doyle, a software engineer, had been backpacking across the Mediterranean and Southeast Asia for over a year, working remotely for an American tech company. He arrived in Malaysia on May 17 after visiting Vietnam and is believed to have been staying at the Robertson Residences in Bukit Bintang. His last communication was with his mother on May 26.
