Robinson has arrived at Westminster Magistrates’ Court for a hearing.
The 42-year-old, who was clutching a microphone, was surrounded by supporters.
He is charged with two counts of harassment causing fear of violence between August 5 and 7, 2024.
It comes just nine days after Robinson was released from prison after a judge ruled he could be freed four months early.
He was locked up for 18 months in October for contempt of court.
Robinson had made multiple breaches of an injunction in 2021, which barred him from repeating false allegations against a Syrian refugee who successfully sued him for libel.
He was pictured leaving HMP Woodhill in Buckinghamshire sporting a full beard and rosary.
He was filmed speaking on his X social media channel for around 20 minutes.
When asked how he was feeling, Robinson declared: “Unfortunately the country doesn’t believe in free speech.”
He also said he would organise a free speech festival in London for supporters later in the year.
Robinson is facing a separate trial in October next year over an accusation that he failed to provide the Pin for his mobile phone when stopped by Kent Police in Folkestone in July 2024.
