Tommy Robinson real name: Who is ex EDL leader - why did Tommy Robinson change his name?
Tommy Robinson was sentenced for potentially prejudicing a court case after broadcasting details of a live trial on social media outside Leeds Crown Court, despite media reporting restrictions being in place.
The 35-year-old was arrested on Friday by police for breaching the peace, before pleading guilty to the charge of contempt of court.
He was given 10 months in jail, plus an additional three months for breaching a previous suspended sentence.
Footage of Robinson's one-hour Facebook live post was watched 250,000 times within the space of a few hours.
A judge told the controversial activist his actions could result in a re-run of the current trial costing “hundreds and hundreds of thousands of pounds”.
