Overview
- Tommy Robinson, jailed for contempt of court, will be released within days after his 18-month sentence was reduced by four months.
- The High Court found that Robinson demonstrated compliance with a 2021 injunction by removing libellous content and providing assurances against future breaches.
- Robinson's original sentence included a 14-month punitive term and a four-month coercive term, the latter of which was lifted following his application to purge contempt.
- The injunction stemmed from a libel case brought by Syrian refugee Jamal Hijazi, who was awarded £100,000 in damages after Robinson made false allegations online.
- Judge Jeremy Johnson warned that any future breaches of the injunction could result in a prison sentence of up to two years.
