Activist Danny Tommo has admitted criminal damage after slashing a migrant dinghy with a knife in the English Channel.
The 37-year-old, whose real name is Daniel Thomas, changed his plea to the single charge when he appeared via video link from prison at Portsmouth Crown Court on Thursday.
A court previously heard that he had taken a boat into the English Channel and observed the migrant occupants of a dinghy being assisted by the RNLI, Border Force and the French Coastguard.
Thomas, whose address was withheld by the court at a previous hearing, admitted using a knife on the dingy which had French personnel on board.
