On May 22, 2025, Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was charged with harassment causing fear of violence against two journalists, as reported by the Crown Prosecution Service. The charges stem from incidents in August 2024, and Robinson is scheduled to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on June 5, 2025. This development follows the High Court’s decision on May 20, 2025, to reduce his 18-month contempt of court sentence by four months, allowing his release within days after serving time for breaching an injunction related to false claims about a Syrian refugee. The injunction was issued after a 2021 libel case where Robinson was ordered to pay £100,000 in damages. Despite his upcoming release, these new charges mark a significant legal challenge for the far-right activist, who has been in custody at HMP Woodhill in Milton Keynes.
