Tommy Robinson has been released from jail

The founder of the English Defence League had a beard and uncut hair as he spoke to supporters and the media outside Belmarsh prison in south-east London this morning.

He denied he had been attacked in prison and claimed he was kept in solitary confinement.

"They would have [killed me]."

He said he had been sent 14 sacks of mail from supporters while in prison.

Robinson was locked up in July for live-streaming on Facebook a video that featured defendants in a sexual exploitation trial and put the case at risk of collapse.

Dame Victoria Sharp and Mr Justice Warby found him in contempt in three respects.

They concluded that he was in contempt by breaching the reporting restriction imposed on the trial, by live-streaming the video from outside the public entrance to the court, and by "aggressively confronting and filming" some of the defendants.
