Tommy Robinson’s contested claims that a Syrian refugee filmed being attacked in a school playground was violent towards girls were not in the public interest, the High Court ruled today.A video showing Jamal Hijazi, then 16, being pushed to the ground and threatened with drowning at Almondbury School in Huddersfield provoked outrage after it was widely shared in November 2018. Robinson, 37, later commented about the incident in two Facebook videos, claiming Jamal was ‘not innocent and he violently attacks young English girls in his school’.He also claimed Jamal ‘beat a girl black and blue’ and ‘threatened to stab’ another boy at his school, allegations the teenager emphatically denies.
