The former leader of the UK branch of the Jewish Defence League has been ordered to do community service after assaulting a pro-Palestinian activist.

Roberta Moore had been convicted earlier this month of attacking two men at a literature festival in Tottenham, north London.

During the incident last summer she discharged a dye spray in the face of retired British Library professor and organiser of the festival, Andy Simons before doing the same to festival book-seller Simon Assaf.

Moore, of Cricklewood, north-west London, was given a 12-month community order and told to do 150 hours of unpaid work.
