Tommy Robinson is due in court Monday for a hearing on contempt of court charges.

The two-day hearing concerns allegations that he breached a 2021 High Court order barring him from repeating defamatory allegations against a Syrian refugee who successfully sued him.

The 41-year-old, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, is accused of being on trial after showing a film at a Trafalgar Square protest in July.

Robinson went to Folkestone police station on Friday, where he was remanded in custody and charged separately with failing to provide police with his mobile phone passcode under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000.

On Saturday, thousands of his supporters gathered in central London for a protest that the political activist missed after being remanded in custody.

Demonstrators carried signs reading “Keir double-decker fueled riots” and chanted “We want Tommy out” as they made their way from Victoria Station to Parliament Square.

Robinson was released on unconditional bail in July and subsequently left the country, with Adam Payter, representing the Attorney-General, telling the High Court there was “nothing stopping him from doing so”.

Mr Justice Johnson issued a warrant for Robinson’s arrest but ordered that it not be executed “until early October” to give Robinson time to indicate that he will attend the next hearing voluntarily or apply “cancellation” of the mandate.

Robinson posted a video of himself arriving at Luton Airport on October 20 and said he was surprised he wasn’t arrested.

He applied for the warrant to be quashed, but his application was rejected by Mr Justice Johnson on Friday.
