Black Lives Matter Activist Sasha Johnson Shot in the Head, in ‘Critical Condition’
A London-based Black Lives Matter activist, Sasha Johnson, is in “critical condition” after she was shot in the head over the weekend, according to her political party.
“It is with great sadness that we inform you that our own Sasha Johnson has been brutally attacked and sustained a gunshot wound to her head,” the left-wing Taking the Initiative Party (TTIP), her political party, said in a statement. “She is currently in intensive care and in a critical condition.”
TTIP alleged that she was shot “following numerous death threats as a result of her activism,” and it noted that Johnson, a mother of three children, is “both a member of BLM and a member of Taking the Initiative Party’s Executive Leadership Committee.”
