English activist Tommy Robinson will be released from prison within the next week after his 18-month sentence for contempt of court was reduced at a High Court hearing on Tuesday.
BREITBART -- Robinson, one of the most prominent campaigners against Muslim child rape grooming gangs in the country, was jailed last October after refusing to abide by a court order barring him from repeating claims about a Syrian teen, who successfully sued him for libel.
While Robinson had initially refused to take down social media posts with the allegations against the Syrian refugee, his lawyers informed the court that he now plans to abide by the court mandate, the BBC reports.
The presiding judge in the case, Mr Justice Johnson, said at the High Court on Tuesday that although Robinson showed an “absence of contrition or remorse,” he nonetheless has given the court “an assurance that he will comply with the injunction in the future, that he has no intention of breaching it again, and that he is aware of the consequences of what would happen if he breached the injunction again.”
