The order to send Tommy Robinson to a heavily Muslim-populated prison came from "the top," according to the activist's manager.

As we reported yesterday, Robinson was moved from a low security prison in Hull to a high security prison in the Midlands with a significantly higher Muslim population, putting his life in danger.

According to a new update from Robinson's manager Caolan Robertson, "Orders came from 'the top' to move him."

Robertson adds that references to Robinson being a high risk prisoner were removed from his file and that's why he was placed on a wing with many Muslim prisoners.
