Another BLM fraud.


An organiser of a Black Lives Matter (BLM) protest has been jailed for using thousands of pounds in fundraising donations on her expensive lifestyle.

Xahra Saleem was a director of Changing Your Mindset, a charity for disadvantaged youths in Bristol.

She previously denied taking money from a fundraising page set up before the toppling of Edward Colston's statue but later admitted one count of fraud.

Saleem was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison at Bristol Crown Court.

The 23-year-old from Romford, London, was one of the organisers of a protest in Bristol on 7 June 2020 which had been arranged in response to the death of George Floyd in the US.
