The leader of the UK branch of the Jewish Defence League has been found guilty of assaulting two people at a pro-Palestinian event in Haringey.

Roberta Moore, 43, was convicted at Highbury Corner Magistrates Court of two assaults and possession of an offensive weapon.

Her co-defendant Robert De Jonge, 36, was found guilty of assault.

The attack took place last year, at the Tottenham Palestine Literature Festival after Arab pro-Israel activist, Orim Shimshon, staged a protest during a collection of talks on the Balfour Declaration.
