Police investigate union officer over 'kill all white men’ tweet

Police have launched an investigation into a controversial student union diversity officer who allegedly tweeted “kill all white men.”

Bahar Mustafa was criticised earlier this year for posting a message on Facebook banning all white people and men from a university event she was organising about diversity and inclusion.

The 27-year-old is also facing being dismissed from her position as welfare and diversity officer at the student union of Goldsmiths University, in London.

A petition with 18,000 signatures is calling for her to be removed from her job on the union, alleging she used “hate speech” on social media.

Scotland Yard yesterday confirmed that officers were investigating allegations about the alleged tweet.

A spokesman said: “Police received a complaint on May 7 about a racially motivated malicious communication that had been made on a social media account. There have been no arrests and enquiries are continuing.”

It is alleged Ms Mustafa used a university Twitter account to tweet racial slurs at student activist Tom Harris calling him “white trash”.

In a document defending her position, Ms Mustafa said: “However, in regards to calling someone ’white trash’ under my official GSU Welfare and Diversity Twitter account, I can accept that it was not professional and I do apologise for this.”
