Anti-Zionist activist Tony Greenstein, who was branded a “notorious antisemite” by a prominent anti-racism group, has been banned this week from contacting the Labour Party disputes team, a report claims. 

Brighton and Hove News has reported that the two-year restraining order prevents the expelled Labour member from contacting several members of the party disputes team by any means.

He is also reportedly barred from using expletives or offensive language in communications with the party or from entering its offices on Victoria Street.

Mr Greenstein, 67, was charged with two counts of harassment in connection with various emails sent to the party between 2019 and 2020, according to the report. 

His solicitor Ed Fish said there had “been some discussions between the prosecution and defence and the prosecution proposed they would offer no evidence if a restraining order was agreed.”

Earlier this year, Mr Greenstein failed in his bid to sue Campaign Against Antisemitism for libel after the group called him “a notorious antisemite”.
