A judge in the UK has ordered a British far-right figurehead to pay £100,000 to a young Syrian national in a high-profile libel case. However, the claimant may never see much of the money as the defendant has stated that he is insolvent.
English Defence League (EDL) founder Tommy Robinson has lost a libel case brought by Syrian schoolboy Jamal Hijazi who was filmed while being attacked at Almondbury Community School in Huddersfield in 2018.
The video of the assault went viral with nearly one million views when Robinson alleged in two Facebook videos that Hijazi was "not innocent" and that he "violently attacks young English girls in his school." Robinson claimed in those videos that Hijazi "beat a girl black and blue" and that he had "threatened to stab" another boy.
