Overview

• Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, has been charged with harassment causing fear of violence against two men during anti-immigration protests in August 2023.
• The protests occurred following the Southport murders, which sparked widespread unrest across the UK.
• Robinson is scheduled to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on June 5 to face these charges, which remain active under criminal proceedings.
• Earlier this week, the High Court reduced his 18-month contempt of court sentence by four months, potentially allowing for early release.
• Robinson also faces a separate trial in October 2025 for allegedly refusing to provide his mobile phone PIN to Kent Police in 2024.
