Former English Defence League (EDL) leader Tommy Robinson has been released on bail after winning an appeal against a contempt of court finding.

The 35-year-old admitted the charge and was jailed in May for filming outside Leeds Crown Court during a trial.

At the Court of Appeal, Lord Chief Justice Lord Burnett ruled the case be reheard as there had been technical flaws by the judge who jailed him.

Robinson's solicitors said everyone has the "right to a fair hearing".

The far-right activist, from Luton, was not present for the ruling in London and was released from his 13-month sentence being served at Onley Prison, near Rugby just before 15:30 BST.

Speaking to reporters, Robinson said: "All the British media do is lie. I have a lot to say but nothing to you.

"I want to thank the British public for all their support."

“All the British media do is lie. I have a lot to say but nothing to you.

We won’t have long to wait, I’m sure.

Wonderful thing about Britain. They have the most worthy dissidents and revolutionaries. Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, et al., Muhandas K. Gandhi, Menachem Begin, and now “Tommy Robinson”. If the UK is down on them, they must be doing something right.

You said it, Lazamataz! And thank you Jesus!

And this is what BBC admitted:

"Robinson wasn't told what specific parts of his activity at the court had been potentially prejudicial to a jury - meaning nobody to this day knows exactly what he did wrong."

BBC!

I really didn’t think he would survive long enough to be released.
