People join civil society groups led by Stand Up To Racism during a counter-protest against a rally endorsed by ‘Tommy Robinson’ in central London, October 26, 2024

TOMMY ROBINSON lost an appeal against his 18-month contempt of court sentence today.

The English Defence League founder was jailed last October after admitting 10 breaches of a 2021 High Court order that forbade him from repeating libellous claims against a young Syrian refugee.

In 2018, then schoolboy Mr Hijazi was assaulted at Almondbury Community School in Huddersfield.
