 'Black Lives Matter' Protests Against Police Brutality & Injustice Spread Global On 25 May, George Floyd, a black man, was killed in Minneapolis, United States while handcuffed with his neck pinned under the knee of a white police officer, Derek Chauvin, for 8 minutes and 46 seconds, as he gasped, 'Please, I can't breathe.' Manslaughter charges have been brought against Derek Chauvin. Anger over Floyd's death has bubbled over into protests across the US calling for an end to police brutality and injustice. According to a tweet with video by Wei Quanbo (@awei3742), 'On 1 Jun 2020, the police in Santa Monica, Los Angeles, arrested 3 Chinese-speaking Chinese students at the riot, who revealed that they were led by the China consulate officials and instructed them to take part and instigate black people smashing and looting riots.' Thousands across the UK, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Canada, and more condemn racism and demand justice at global Black Lives Matter protests. A 'Black Lives Matter' peaceful protest is scheduled in Hong Kong at the US Consulate General on Sunday, 7 June at 1 pm. Over 600 are going or interested as of today. Los Angeles . USA | 2020 3 Jun 2020  Hong Kong Police Ban Tiananmen Vigil for First Time in 30 Years Hong Kong police on Monday banned the annual June 4 vigil marking the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre citing the coronavirus pandemic, the first time in 30 years. Lee Cheuk-yan, chair of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China - organiser of the annual vigil, said alliance members would still enter Victoria Park in groups of 8 to comemorate that night. At least 60 booths will be set up across the city in the afternoon to distribute candles and they called on the public to light candles at 8:09 pm across the city, observe 1 minute of silence and join an online rally to commemorate the June 4 massacre. The public are encouraged to share photos and messages on social media with hashtag #6431truth. Lee Cheuk-yan called the ban a political decision even before the National Security Laws are enacted, pointing out that schools have reopened, large religious gatherings are allowed and commercial activities have largely resumed. 180,000 attended the annual candlelight vigil to commemorate the 30th anniversary of June 4 last year, shown in this photo.
