Tommy Robinson has been arrested in Canada on suspicion of immigration offences.
Footage posted online shows Robinson – real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – being handcuffed by two plain-clothed police officers who explain to the 41-year-old that he is the subject of ‘an outstanding immigration warrant’.
He is then led away.
He was arrested shortly after giving a speech in Calgary on Monday.
He has since been released but had his passport seized, according to his social media channel.
He wrote: “Ok I’m FREE , we’ll sort of, None of this makes sense , I’m now detained in Calgary , prevented from leaving the city , these conditions stop me from continuing my tour of Canada & meeting with guests for podcasts . I’m not even allowed to leave to travel home”.
In 2012 Robinson pleaded guilty to using a friend’s passport to travel to the United States and was sentenced to 10 months’ imprisonment.
