A Black Lives Matter (BLM) activist who stole £30,000 from an online fundraising page and spent it on “lifestyle expenses” has been jailed for two-and-a-half years for fraud.
Xahra Saleem, 23, pleaded guilty to two counts of fraud in relation to a charitable company called Changing Your Mindset, which was set up in 2020 at the height of the BLM movement, and was sentenced at Bristol Crown Court on Tuesday.
