British anti-Muslim activist Stephen Yaxley-Lennon on Wednesday lost his appeal against his 18-month sentence after he previously admitted contempt of court for repeating false allegations against a Syrian refugee.
Yaxley-Lennon, known as Tommy Robinson, was jailed in October after he admitted contempt of court by breaching an injunction banning him from repeating the allegations against Jamal Hijazi, who successfully sued him for libel.
In a ruling on Wednesday, London's Court of Appeal said a previous judge's "application of the law and his reasoning on the appropriate sanction in this case both exhibit a meticulous approach".
The court told him he could reduce his sentence by four months if he "purged" the contempt by removing the claims from his social media accounts.
