Tommy Robinson has been charged under the Terrorism Act after handing himself in at a police station in Kent.
Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, is accused of failing to provide the pin number to his mobile phone in Folkestone on July 28.
The 41-year-old, of no fixed address, was charged at the town’s police station earlier today.
He has been remanded to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on November 13.
A High Court judge had issued a warrant for Robinson’s arrest after he failed to appear for a contempt of court hearing at the end of July.
He left the country the day after leading a protest in central London and hours after being released on unconditional bail by Kent Police, who arrested him at the Channel Tunnel in Folkestone under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000.
He faces a two-day hearing at Woolwich Crown Court on Monday on contempt of court claims.
It comes less than 24 hours before Robinson is expected to lead a huge far-right demonstration in central London.
Robinson is planning to head the protest, which is said to focus on alleged injustice about the summer riots.
Up to 40,000 people are believed to be expected to attend.
