The 'waterboarding' incident sparked public outrage and protests from locals, and also triggered a police investigation into racially aggravated assault.
Robinson claims, what the media failed to report was that the victim had earlier attacked a white girl - and allegedly hit her with a hockey stick.
Tommy Robinson, however, alleged in a Facebook post, citing messages sent to him after the attack, that the Syrian youngster had earlier 'bullied a girl out' of the school by hitting her with a hockey stick.
According to screengrabs of the messages, multiple complaints had been submitted regarding the boy's behaviour.
There’s always 2 sides to a story, the media just want to lap up the “poor Syrian refugee” story . I was sent this the minute the story came out. I’ve been contacted by loads at the school. They are all scared
His comments caused outrage online as many accused him of trying to spread hate - and now the Syrian family's lawyer told The Sun Online that they are considering legal actions over the claims.
THE family of the Syrian boy who was 'waterboarded' by a classmate has vowed to SUE Tommy Robinson after he claimed the teen "attacked a girl".
The family's lawyer said: "Jamal confirms that all comments relating to him by Tommy Robinson are untrue. We are considering legal action on the basis of defamation against Mr Robinson."
