EDL founder jailed after admitting to breaching High Court order by repeating false allegations against a Syrian refugee
Tommy Robinson has been jailed for 18 months after admitting contempt of court by repeating false allegations against a Syrian refugee.
Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, admitted breaching the High Court order made in 2021 as he appeared at Woolwich Crown Court on Monday.
The 41-year-old appeared in the dock wearing a grey suit and waistcoat with no tie. At the start of a hearing, Aidan Eardley KC, for the Solicitor General, said a “resolution” had been reached over the allegations, and read them out to the court.
