British BLM Activist Jailed for Blowing €36,000 in Donations Intended for Youth Charity on Uber Eats & Clothes

A prominent Black Lives Matter activist in the United Kingdom who used over £32,000 (€36,000) in donations intended for a youth charity to fund her lavish lifestyle has been jailed for two and a half years.

Xahra Saleem, 23, set up a GoFundMe page encouraging donations from the public ahead of a Black Lives Matter march in the southwest English city of Bristol in June 2020 which culminated in the toppling of a statue commemorating Edward Colston, a Bristol-based philanthropist who profited in his later years from the slave trade.
