JAKARTA - British anti-Muslim activist Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, known as the pseudonym Tommy Robinson, admits that it has spread hoaxes or slander and violated previous court decisions.

Quoting Reuters, Monday, October 28, the confession was conveyed by Tommy Robinson as a defendant in a case of provocation and spread of hoaxes in a follow-up hearing at the London Crown Court of Woolwich today, Monday, October 28 local time.

Tommy Robinson was accused by a number of media and British politicians of fueling tensions in the case of stabbing children in Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport, Liverpool, at the end of July 2024.

The British far-right extremist spread false information or hoaxes on social media, with false claims that the perpetrators of the ethnicity were asylum seekers or Muslim immigrants.

The hoax that was spread by Tommy Robinson caused demonstrations to lead to days of unrest in almost the entire British city. The demonstrators shouted his name and raised tensions between right-wing groups and anti-racism activists and immigrants.

Based on the NDTV report, the founder of the English Defense League (EDL), the British extreme right-handed Islamophobic organization was only arrested on Friday, October 25, 2024.

Previously, Tommy Robinson was caught in a similar case. He was found guilty of spreading hoaxes that Syrian immigrants in England had attacked girls at his school in 2021.

Because it was proven again to repeat slander against people, the British Attorney General stated that Tommy Robinson's actions had insulted the judiciary for daring to violate the previous court's decision.
