A lecture by the leader of the anti-Zionist Neturei Karta sect was relocated after Oxford University’s largest graduate college refused to let him speak on campus.

Ahron Cohen was the guest speaker at the Muslim Educational Centre of Oxford’s (MECO) monthly forum on Thursday last week.

The event had been due to take place at Wolfson College but was relocated to a private venue after the college cancelled the booking.

A Wolfson spokeswoman initially said the decision was taken because the booking was not “transparent”. It is understood a college member’s name was used without the person’s agreement or their knowledge of Mr Cohen’s attendance.
