The far-right anti-Islam activist Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, also known as Tommy Robinson, is due to be released from prison four months early.
His 18-month sentence for contempt of court was reduced after a hearing at the High Court on Tuesday.
Yaxley-Lennon was jailed last October because he ignored an order not to repeat false allegations about a Syrian refugee who successfully sued him for libel.
His lawyers told the court he had since shown a "commitment" to comply with the order. Mr Justice Johnson granted the application to have the sentence reduced because Yaxley-Lennon had shown a "change in attitude" since he was sentenced.
The 42-year-old is due to be released from prison within the next week, the judge said.
The judge noted there was an "absence of contrition or remorse" from Yaxley-Lennon, but added: "He has given an assurance that he will comply with the injunction in the future, that he has no intention of breaching it again, and that he is aware of the consequences of what would happen if he breached the injunction again."
The sentence handed down to Yaxley-Lennon in October was made up of two elements. The first was a 14-month "punitive" element, while the second was a four-month "coercive" element.
At the time, Mr Justice Johnson said that the four-month "coercive" element could be removed from his sentence if he took steps to comply with the order that barred him from repeating lies about the Syrian refugee.
This week, the High Court accepted Yaxley-Lennon had tried to comply with the order.

Betcha a dollar (or should I say a pound sterling) that the UK Deep State is already preparing to snare Robinson with new, bogus charges.
Guys like him can’t be allowed to walk free. He’s too much of a threat.
They can thank Trump and Vance for this.

Forget the article.
Read the comments.
He should apply for asylum here in the US. He is the perfect example of someone being persecuted for religious reasons.
I’d take in freedom-loving UK citizens happy to become Americans in a heartbeat.
Brain drain the UK.
It can become Europe’s South Africa with my blessing.
And we could really use 100,000 new farmers...
Musk has been helping Tommy too.
Released from a physical prison to live in a mental prison. England is dead.
I wouldn’t be surprised to hear he met his demise in an *accident* of something.
Praying for the safety of that political prisoner. Britain’s own version of the J6ers.
Yes i’d be surprised if it hasn’t crossed his mind.
The only way in for me is a ‘golden’ visa and I dont have millions of dollars sadly.
Perhaps one day!
This entire article stinks.
A completely distorted narrative of what is going on, usual leftists drivel.
1. His video/documentary clearly exposed a corrupt narrative by both the judiciary and media, that the Syrian kid was actually the aggressor, not some innocent victim of ‘racism’.
2. He was being punished for PUBLISHING A VIDEO the State didn’t like, exposing them, pure retaliation...exactly what the ‘free press’ is supposed to be able to do without retribution. So-called ‘journalists’ silent, tells you a lot.
3. It was less about the kid, more about the corruption of the system.
4. He was given an 18 month sentence for a CIVIL, not criminal issue, and sent to prison WITH NO TRIAL OR JURY, held in SOLITARY.
The last couple of weeks have seen a massive u-turn by Starmer on illegal immigration and now TR, all following the ‘UK trade deal’...which is VERY curious. Trump/Vance effect?
Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, also known as Tommy Robinson,
******
What?
I watched the video. He didn’t lie about the little Syrian so and so. He exposed the UK governments cover up of the little muzzy’s antics while they persecuted a white child.
Sadly, you are right.
Disgusting BBC lies and propaganda here.
Prayers for Tommy.
Can't do that in the UK.
