High court reduces far-right activist’s contempt of court sentence by four months
Tommy Robinson is due to be released from prison within the next week after the high court reduced his 18-month sentence for the civil offence of contempt of court by four months.
Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was jailed in October after admitting multiple breaches of an injunction, made in 2021, barring him from repeating false allegations against a Syrian refugee who successfully sued him for libel.
