Just One of Many Fraud Claims Levelled Against This Horrific Organisation.

Black Lives Matter organiser behind the protest that toppled Edward Colston's statue in Bristol admits fraud - after £30,000 raised from donors to help fund the march went missing.

One of the organisers of the Black Lives Matter protest which saw slave trader Edward Colston's statue toppled has admitted fraud after £30,000 raised from donors went missing. Xahra Saleem, 23, pleaded guilty to one count of fraud by abuse of position following an investigation by Avon and Somerset Police into a GoFundMe page called 'BristBLM' set up ahead of the protest in Bristol in June 2020. Saleem had set up the crowdfunding page to raise money for face masks and other equipment to help facilitate the march legally, given it was taking place at the time of the Covid-19 pandemic. Mail.
