British authorities briefly detained radical activist Tommy Robinson at Heathrow Airport and confiscated his phone while investigating his role in promoting racist riots in Belfast. Robinson had repeatedly posted about violent incidents that erupted in the Northern Ireland capital following the release of video footage from a June 8 knife attack. The activist, known for his anti-immigration stance, is being examined for his online activities related to the sectarian unrest that gripped parts of Belfast in recent weeks.
