Tommy Robinson accused Syrian teen of attacking girl, judge finds
Far right activist in libel case over videos made after Jamal Hijazi was assaulted at school
www.theguardian.com
Online comments made by the far right activist Tommy Robinson about a Syrian teenager amounted to accusations that the young refugee had “participated in a violent assault on a young girl” and “threatened to stab another child”, a judge has ruled.
In an interim ruling on a high-profile libel case, Mr Justice Nicklin said the “natural and ordinary meaning” of the two Robinson videos, which have been viewed more than 900,000 times, related to a “specific allegation of violent conduct”.
This boys family were forced to move to another town after the allegations. The youngster claims he was libelled and is suing the neo nazi slag for damages.
Todays preliminary hearing has established that the videos Yaxley made were definitely a “specific allegation of violent conduct”.
It now goes to a full trial where the court will establish whether the allegations are true or not.
This "court battle"| has now superseded his previous court action which was an appeal against his latest conviction and incarceration.

A lot of legal action for this petty criminal and sometime hero of the right.
I vaguely remember Yaxley stating that he made the allegations on false information but I may be wrong. Which version of the truth he presents to the court will be interesting to see.
