British far-right figurehead Tommy Robinson jailed – POLITICO

However, the Attorney-General for England and Wales brought two contempt charges against Robinson earlier this year, claiming that the activist – who screened a film depicting the allegations in London's Trafalgar Square – had “knowingly” breached the order.

Robinson, 41, appeared at Woolwich Crown Court in east London on Monday and replied “yes” when asked if he accepted the breaches.

The sentencing judge, Justice Johnson, said Robinson's behavior was a “flagrant” breach of defamation restrictions and warned: “No one is above the law,” according to LBC Radio.

Robinson is one of the most well-known far-right figures in Britain. Thousands of his supporters gathered in central London on Saturday.

He was a former member of the British National Party and co-founder of the English Defense League. He ran unsuccessfully for Member of the European Parliament in 2019.

Robinson's detention for contempt of court comes days after he turned himself in at a police station. On Friday, Robinson was charged separately with denying police access to his mobile phone under Britain's terrorism law.
