Tommy Robinson is facing a new contempt of court action for allegedly breaching a High Court order from 2021. The Attorney General’s Office reported that Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, is accused of violating an injunction that prohibited him from making defamatory statements through six actions between June and July this year. This injunction stemmed from a lawsuit by a Syrian refugee who sued Robinson for libel. The AGO stated that Robinson received the contempt application from Solicitor General Sarah Sackman on his X account on Wednesday after the application was lodged on August 19. An earlier contempt application for other alleged breaches of the order was made known in a London court hearing last month, where it was revealed that Robinson had left the country. A hearing for both applications is scheduled for October 28.
