Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was jailed in October 2024 for violating a 2021 injunction linked to Jamal Hijazi, a Syrian refugee awarded £100,000 after Robinson was convicted of making false claims against him.
Today, Robinson’s lawyers pushed back, arguing the punishment – and his segregation at HMP Woodhill amid inmate threats – smacks of targeting of a vocal immigration critic.
The hearing unfolded with Solicitor General Lucy Rigby standing firm, framing Robinson’s breaches – including his film “Silenced” – as a deliberate affront to legal order.
Outside the court, a sea of supporters rallied, decrying what they see as a system shielding migrants while punishing dissent.
X posts amplify their view: Robinson is in solitary confinement not for safety, but to break his will to expose immigration-related issues.
Opponents call it justice served for a repeat offender.
With Britain’s borders and immigration policies under scrutiny, this appeal could signal how far the establishment will go to silence those linking immigration to societal strain – or if Robinson’s warnings will find new footing.
