The Syrian refugee who was allegedly grabbed by the throat and "waterboarded" by school bullies is set to sue Facebook over claims made on the site by Tommy Robinson.
The founder of the English Defence League made accusations Jamal, 16, attacked English girls.
Now lawyers working for the boy are preparing to take action against the huge social networking site as they claim it was "fully aware of the reckless and pernicious nature" of Robinson’s videos and has "profited from defamation".
The legal team are also going to take action against Robinson himself, The Sun Online reports.
Shocking footage emerged two months ago of Jamal being shoved to the ground on playing fields at Almondbury Community School in Huddersfield, West Yorks.
The harrowing footage was shared widely on social media, including Facebook, and led to a police investigation.
