This includes ‘threats to the governor’, Jenny Louis, who is a black woman, the judge said.
Robinson’s advocates argued His segregation was a violation of his rights under the European Convention on Human Rights and caused a ‘clear decline in his mental health’.
His lawyer Alisdair Williamson KC said the ‘significant Muslim population’ in Woodhill ’caused a difficulty and argued that he should move to another jail, where he could identify with other prisoners before his release on July 26.
He said Robinson, whom he described as a journalist, suffered from ADHD and complicated post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which was only caused by his seclusion during an earlier imprisonment.
Mr. Williamson said Robinson was concerned about his mental health during his release, because he “abused self -damage by substances to cope with the tension caused by seclusion”.
