Far-right activist Tommy Robinson jailed after admitting contempt of court
Briefly

Robinson's deliberate breaches of a 2021 High Court order led to his 18-month jail sentence for contempt of court, highlighting that 'nobody is above the law.'
Justice Johnson emphasized that Robinson's actions were 'considered, planned, deliberate, direct, and flagrant' violations of a lawful injunction, leading to his severe penalty.
The High Court found that Robinson had committed contempt of court multiple times and was previously prohibited from making false allegations against Syrian refugee Jamal Hijazi.
Robinson was jailed for his continuous dissemination of false claims about Hijazi, in contexts reaching millions, despite having been ordered not to do so.
