Tommy Robinson jailed for 18 months over Syrian refugee contempt of court

SUMMARY

Tommy Robinson has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for contempt of court after admitting to violating a High Court injunction.

He repeated "false allegations against a Syrian refugee," breaching a court order made in 2021. During the hearing at Woolwich Crown Court, it was noted that Robinson’s actions were intentional and undermined the law.

The judge emphasized that “nobody is above the law” and that such breaches must be taken seriously. Robinson’s defense claimed he was acting on his principles, but the court found his violations to be flagrant.
