Tommy Robinson freed on bail

  • 6 years ago
Former English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson (real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) has been freed on bail after winning his challenge against a contempt of court finding. Robinson was jailed in May for live-streaming footage on social media from outside Leeds Crown Court that breached reporting restrictions relating to an ongoing series of criminal trials there. Lord Chief Justice Lord Burnett said he was allowing Robinson's appeal "in respect of the committal for contempt at Leeds Crown Court". Report by Jonesia.
