Hind Al Soulia - Riyadh - LONDON —British far-right activist Tommy Robinson said he was detained at Heathrow Airport for almost three hours on Saturday on his return from Russia via Turkey a week after he posted heavily online about racist and anti-immigrant riots in Northern Ireland.
The Metropolitan Police later confirmed that a 43-year-old had been stopped under Schedule 3 of the act, which gives officers the powers to question, search and detain people suspected of travelling to plan, prepare and carry out hostile acts.
Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, has been accused of stirring racial tensions following the death of 18-year-old Henry Nowak in Southampton and a knife attack in Belfast.
Robinson tweeted repeatedly last week about violence that swept Belfast after a video went viral showing the brutal stabbing of a man, who lost an eye in the attack. A Sudanese man has been charged with attempted murder. Police have said they are not treating the attack as terrorism.
In the days that followed rioters targeted homes and businesses owned by ethnic minorities or foreign residents in what the British minister for the province called racist thuggery.
Local politicians have said far-right agitators online had helped to coordinate or promote the violence.
