Tommy Robinson loses High Court libel case

Anti-Islam activist Tommy Robinson has lost a High Court libel case brought by a Syrian schoolboy.

Jamal Hijazi was filmed being attacked in the playground at Almondbury School in Huddersfield in October 2018.

The English Defence League founder, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, claimed Mr Hijazi attacked “young English girls”.

Mr Justice Nicklin ruled in Mr Hijazi’s favour and granted him £100,000 in damages.
