FAR-RIGHT activist Tommy Robinson was released from prison today after serving a jail term for the civil offence of contempt of court.
The 42-year-old, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, left HMP Woodhill after his 18-month sentence was reduced by four months at the High Court last week.
He was filmed speaking on his X social media channel for around 20 minutes with longer hair and a bushy beard, and wearing a rosary around his neck.
Yaxley-Lennon was jailed in October after admitting multiple breaches of an injunction made in 2021, which barred him from repeating false allegations against a Syrian refugee who successfully sued him for libel.
He is currently facing two further, separate court cases, and is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on June 5 accused of harassing two journalists.
Yaxley-Lennon was charged with two counts of harassment causing fear of violence between August 5 and 7 2024.
He is also facing a separate trial in October next year over an accusation that he failed to provide the pin for his mobile phone when stopped by Kent Police in Folkestone in July 2024.
