Tommy Robinson was sentenced to 18 months in prison for contempt of court after repeating false claims about Syrian teenager Jamal Hijazi. Robinson had posted a video in 2018 calling Hijazi a violent thug, and the video led to death threats against Hijazi and his family. Hijazi won £100,000 in a 2021 defamation case. Although a judge ordered Robinson not to repeat the claims, he circulated them again in a 2023 online video.
