The far-flung Figure Tommy Robinson has been released four months ago after the UK’s High Court reduced its 18-month sentence for contempt of court. Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lenn, was repeatedly imprisoned for prohibition to ban the Syrian refugees from spreading false claims about Syrian refugees. His initial release follows the verdict of a court, which was accepted that he has shown a desire to follow the order despite the lack of any clear indication of regrets.
Why was Robinson jailed?
Robinson was jailed in October 2023 for violating a court order, stopping him from repeating derogatory claims about the Syrian teenager. The case was related to false allegations made in 2018, when he described the then school-school Jamal Hizzi online as a violent threat in a video shared online. These claims were later proved untrue, Hizzi successfully sued Robbinson for Libel in 2021 and was awarded £ 100,000 for the loss.Following the complaint of the complaint, an prohibition was issued to Robinson to prevent defamation statements from repeating the defamation statements. However, he violated the order several times through interviews, online videos, and a speech at a public rally, which led to the punishment for the court for contempt. He accepted ten violations of prohibitory orders. Robinson’s actions carried forward the misuse directed on the teenager, which was forced to leave school and whose family had to be transferred.In October, the judge of the sentence implemented the 18-month prison period, which included a 14-month punitive element and a four-month-old element-Robinson, which was put under pressure in compliance with the prohibition. He was jailed in HMP Woodhill in Milton Keins.
Why he is being released early
On Tuesday, the High Court in London ruled that Robinson’s sentence should be reduced, possibly allowed for their release within days. Mr. Justice Jeremy Johnson, who inspected the hearing, stated that Robinson had shown “changes in attitude” and admitted that he had assured that he was not again to dissolve the prohibition.Robinson’s legal team argued that they had taken steps to remove objectionable content and demonstrated their commitment to follow the court order. His lawyer, Alex de Francesco stated that each violation was capable of “pursed”, on which most of the materials were removed from the online platform.While the judge acknowledged the lack of repentance of Robinson, he admitted that the forced part of the sentence has fulfilled its purpose. As a result, Robinson will only need to complete the punitive element, which ends this week. He was originally due to release on 26 July.
