Tommy Robinson, also known as Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, is set to be released from prison early following a high court decision that reduced his 18-month contempt of court sentence by four months. The sentence stemmed from multiple breaches of an injunction meant to prevent him from repeating false allegations against Syrian refugee Jamal Hijazi. Robinson has shown a commitment to comply with the injunction moving forward, although the judge noted an absence of remorse. He had previously been jailed for ten breaches after Hijazi successfully sued him for libel related to false claims made online.
