Tommy Robinson has been freed on bail after Judge Nicholas Hilliard QC referred his case to the Attorney General, saying it was "too complex".
Speaking outside the Old Bailey, Gerard Batten said:
"The Judge referred the case back to the Attorney General on the basis of the statement Tommy Robinson made to the court.
"The statement said that nobody has been jailed in the last 60 years for the offence that he was alleged to have committed. Other newspapers and journalists have committed contempt of court and Tommy names them in his statement. He refers to the trial of Levi Bellfield, the murderer of little girls, when a newspaper was responsible for the trial being aborted following a barrage of prejudicial publicity. The newspaper got fined £10,000 but not the journalists, nothing happened to them.
"So it looks very much like when Tommy was jailed for alleged contempt of court, this was about who he was and what he was saying, rather than the actual offence."
