Read our privacy policy Tommy Robinson's lawyers have argued that the far-right leader should be released from prison because of “procedural deficiencies” in two court cases. open image in gallery Free Tommy protesters outside the Court of Appeal during a hearing on Tommy Robinson's 13-month prison sentence on 18 July His barrister, Jeremy Dein QC, called on the judges to overturn contempt findings from May 2017 and May 2018 and to order Robinson’s release. Asked to confirm whether Robinson admitted contempt, Mr Dein said his barrister in Leeds “made a number of concessions” and said Robinson was sorry. He said the case was a question of “substance not form”, adding: “There is nothing in the rules to suggest an order or finding of contempt is invalidated if a particular aspect of the rules is not complied with.“ Mr Dein refuted his argument and said an "error" in the way proceedings in Leeds were labelled meant Robinson was treated as a criminal rather than a civil prisoner, who are allowed more access to visitors and other privileges.
