London woman charged after alleged #killallwhitemen tweet
Bahar Mustafa, 28, a student diversity officer at Goldsmiths University in London, charged with sending threatening communication
A student diversity officer who came to prominence in a race row after allegedly tweeting the hashtag #killallwhitemen has been charged by police with sending a threatening communication.
Bahar Mustafa, who works at Goldsmiths University in London, is set to appear at Bromley magistrates court on 5 November.
The 28-year-old from Edmonton, north-east London, faces two charges, one is sending a communication conveying a threatening message between 10 November 2014 and 31 May 2015. The second is for sending a grossly offensive message via a public communication network between 10 November 2014 and 31 May 2015.
Mustafa was initially accused of racism for asking white men not to attend a students union meeting intended for ethnic minority and “non-binary” women.
She then became embroiled in separate row, accused of using the hashtag #killallwhitemen on her Twitter account, which has since been deleted.
