UK: Tommy Robinson released

Article here. Dreadful days when in a western nation people actually need to celebrate a man being released after he was arrested for taking a picture of a courthouse to report on its proceedings *from the outside of the courthouse*. Excerpt:

'TOMMY Robinson thanked his supporters as he walked free from prison today after a judge overturned his conviction for contempt of court.

The English Defence League founder (EDL) hugged friends before he was led from Onley Prison by a friend this afternoon.

Giving only a brief statement, Robinson said: "I want to thank the British public for all their support." He then sped away from the scene in a waiting car.

On the Free Tommy Robinson Facebook page a post said he was "over the moon" about the ruling and will be going on holiday with his family.

The Facebook post said: "Tommy just called his family from prison to ask what the outcome was - he said prisoners were shouting that he was going home but he did not want to believe them. He is over the moon."

Robinson was sentenced to 13 months in prison earlier this year after broadcasting footage of trial defendants on social media.'
