Bahar Mustafa, 28, student union Welfare and Diversity Officer at Goldsmiths University in London, sparked outrage earlier this year when she appeared to ban all men and white people from attending an equality event which she organised. The public outcry resulted in almost 21,000 people signing a petition for her to be removed from her post, having claimed that she "encouraged or expressed hatred" based on "race, gender, or social position". Scotland Yard confirmed today that Mustafa has been summoned to appear at Bromley Magistrates' Court on two charges, relating to messages sent between 10 November 2014 and 31 May 2015.

While advertising an equality event on Facebook in April, Mustafa is claimed to have wrote: "Invite loads of BME Women and non-binary people!! "Also, if you've been invited and you're a man and/or white PLEASE DON'T COME just cos I invited a bunch of people and hope you will be responsible enough to respect this is a BME Women and non-binary event only." She also is accused of tweeting with the hashtag #killallwhitemen.

At the time she defended her words by claiming she could NOT be racist because she is an "ethnic minority woman". She said: "There have been charges laid against me that I am racist and sexist towards white men. "I, an ethnic minority woman, cannot be racist or sexist towards white men, because racism and sexism describe structures of privilege based on race and gender.
