Public figures condemn killing of unarmed black man as protesters march in solidarity with US demonstrators
Published on Mon 1 Jun 2020 10.39 BST
People
in cities around the world have marched in solidarity with
demonstrators in the US, as politicians and public figures united to
condemn the killing of George Floyd.
Floyd,
an unarmed black man, died on 25 May in Minneapolis after a white
police officer, Derek Chauvin, pressed a knee into his neck for nine
minutes while Floyd repeatedly complained that he could not breathe.
In
Australia, the prime minister, Scott Morrison, said the scenes in the
US were “terribly disturbing, shocking” and “made [him] cringe”.
He
has pleaded with people in Sydney planning to protest on Tuesday
afternoon in solidarity with demonstrators in the US not to “import
things from happening in other countries here to Australia”. He said
Australia was “fair” and applauded police and other emergency workers.
His comments came as many others in Australia on social media on the weekend pointed out that there have been more than 400 Indigenous deaths in custody since the end of a 1991 royal commission on Indigenous deaths in custody.
The
former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull weighed in, telling a Crikey
video conference that Trump is a “deliberately divisive leader” who
“seeks to divide” the US or to “exploit division” that, he said, “far
from making America great again, makes America weaker”.
At least four solidarity gatherings were held in New Zealand on Monday,
with massive crowds kneeling down at a demonstration in Auckland. Tens
of thousands of people marched from Aotea Square, in central Auckland,
to the US embassy carrying signs with messages such as “Be kind”,
“Silence is Betrayal” and “Do Better, Be Better”.
Speakers
called on the prime minister, Jacinda Ardern, to denounce the killing
of Floyd as a hate crime, and show similar leadership as she did
following the mass murders of 15 March last year, when a lone gunman
killed 51 worshippers in a Christchurch mosque.
On
Sunday, thousands of people demonstrated in central London, chanting:
“No Justice! No peace!” in Trafalgar Square before marching to the US
embassy, where they were greeted by a line of police
.
There
were protests outside the US embassy in Copenhagen on Sunday, while
hundreds of demonstrators gathered in Berlin for the second day in a
row, carrying signs that read: “Silence is violence”, “Hold cops
accountable” and “Who do you call when police murder?”
The
headline of Germany’s top-selling Bild newspaper on Sunday carried the
headline, “This killer-cop set America ablaze”, with an arrow pointing
to a photo of the now-fired officer, who has been charged with
third-degree murder.
A memorial in graffiti
appeared on a former part of the Berlin Wall depicting Floyd and the
words: “I can’t breathe”, which he uttered as he was dying.
The English footballer Jadon Sancho was among several footballers playing in Germany to commemorate the events,
lifting his jersey after scoring on Sunday to reveal a shirt emblazoned
with the handwritten message: “Justice for George Floyd.”
French
national Marcus Thuram kneeled after scoring in Borussia
Mönchengladbach’s win over
Union Berlin. The Gladbach forward scored in
the first half and then dropped his left knee to the ground for five
seconds. “No explanation needed,” his side’s Twitter account wrote in a
post showing Thuram kneeling.
The head of the
African Union Commission, Moussa Faki Mahamat, said in a statement that
Floyd’s death “firmly reaffirms and reiterates the African Union’s
rejection of the continuing discriminatory practices against Black
citizens of the United States of America”.
There has been no official reaction from Japan, but hundreds of people protested
in front of Shibuya police station in Tokyo on Saturday after a widely
viewed video clip showed two police officers using force while
questioning a 33-year-old Kurdish man on the street.
An
estimated 200 foreign and Japanese protesters denounced Floyd’s killing
and accused the police officers of racism and using unnecessary force
against the unnamed man, who had reportedly been stopped in connection
with an alleged traffic violation.
The video footage, shot by an acquaintance of the man, shows the officers forcing him to the ground while he insists he has done nothing wrong.
George
Floyd’s death also drew comment from regimes critical of the US that
also have a record of violently suppressing dissent. Iranian state TV
accused police in the US of setting fire to vehicles and attacking
protesters, while the Russian foreign ministry said the US had “systemic
problems in the human rights sphere”.
“This
incident is far from the first in a series of lawless conduct and
unjustified violence from US law enforcement,” it said in a statement.
Chinese officials and state media compared the widespread unrest in the US to the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong and accused Washington of hypocrisy.
“Mr
President, don’t go hide behind the secret service,” Hu Xijin,
editor-in-chief of nationalist tabloid Global Times, wrote on Saturday.
“Go to talk to the demonstrators seriously. Negotiate with them, just
like you urged Beijing to talk to Hong Kong rioters.”
News is under threat ...
…
just when we need it the most. Millions of readers around the world are
flocking to the Guardian in search of honest, authoritative, fact-based
reporting that can help them understand the biggest challenge we have
faced in our lifetime. But at this crucial moment, news organisations
are facing an unprecedented existential challenge. As businesses
everywhere feel the pinch, the advertising revenue that has long helped
sustain our journalism continues to plummet. We need your help to fill
the gap.
We
believe every one of us deserves equal access to quality news and
measured explanation. So, unlike many others, we made a different
choice: to keep Guardian journalism open for all, regardless of where
they live or what they can afford to pay. This would not be possible
without financial contributions from our readers, who now support our
work from 180 countries around the world.
We
have upheld our editorial independence in the face of the
disintegration of traditional media – with social platforms giving rise
to misinformation, the seemingly unstoppable rise of big tech and
independent voices being squashed by commercial ownership. The
Guardian’s independence means we can set our own agenda and voice our
own opinions. Our journalism is free from commercial and political bias –
never influenced by billionaire owners or shareholders. This makes us
different. It means we can challenge the powerful without fear and give a
voice to those less heard.
Reader
financial support has meant we can keep investigating, disentangling
and interrogating. It has protected our independence, which has never
been so critical. We are so grateful.
We
need your support so we can keep delivering quality journalism that’s
open and independent. And that is here for the long term. Every reader
contribution, however big or small, is so valuable. Support the Guardian from as little as €1 – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
