FAR-RIGHT ACTIVIST Tommy Robinson has been found in contempt of court for filming defendants in a criminal trial and broadcasting the footage on Facebook.
Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was arrested and jailed last year for potentially prejudicing a trial after his broadcast outside a trial of men accused of sexually abusing teenage girls.
A court later freed him and said the case should be looked at again.
Robinson, who founded the anti-Islam English Defense League, claims to have been exposing “Muslim rape gangs.”
Robinson has built a large online following with links to international white nationalist and far-right movements.
Judge Victoria Sharp said today that Britain’s High Court will consider what penalty to impose for the contempt at a later date.
