Tommy Robinson charged with harassing two men

Political activist Tommy Robinson has been charged with harassment of two men, prosecutors said.

Robinson, 42, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, is accused of two counts of harassment causing fear of violence and will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on June 5.

It is alleged that the offences took place between August 5 and 7 2024.

Earlier this week judges ruled that Robinson could be released from prison early after his 18-month sentence for the civil offence of contempt of court was reduced by four months at the High Court.

He was jailed in October after admitting multiple breaches of an injunction made in 2021, which barred him from repeating false allegations against a Syrian refugee who successfully sued him for libel.
