Tens of thousands of people gathered Saturday in cities from Australia to Europe to express anger over the death of George Floyd and to demand an end to racial discrimination in a sign that the Black Lives Matter movement is going global.
Yesterday, an afternoon protest at London's Parliament Square headed towards the UK Home Office, which oversees the country's police, and then on to the US Embassy, as protesters showed "solidarity for the people of America who have suffered for too long".
In Berlin, where police said 15,000 people rallied peacefully on the city's Alexander Square, protesters chanted the name of George Floyd and held up placards with slogans such as "I can't breathe."
Wearing masks and black shirts, dozens of demonstrators marched through a commercial district amid a police escort, carrying signs such as "George Floyd Rest in Peace" and "Koreans for Black Lives Matter".
