London-Sana

Thousands of people gathered in the center of the British capital, London, today against racism and in support of the American demonstrators, who went out in protest against the crime committed by American police officers by killing an African American in Minnesota.

The Associated Press reported that the demonstrators gathered in Trafalgar Square in central London and chanted slogans condemning the racism of the American police and the method of violence that they are taking from them, "No justice .. no peace", as they raised banners saying to each other, "Is there more?"

The demonstrators went to the American embassy amid strict measures taken by the British police to protect its headquarters.

American cities have been witnessing days of widespread protests against the killing of an African citizen, whom the police and authorities met with more oppression and arbitrary measures, while several countries around the world are watching with anticipation of the five days of the turmoil in the United States.

George Floyd, 46, was killed on the 25th of this month in Minneapolis, Minnesota, after a police officer strangled him by pressing his knee on his neck for more than eight minutes in the latest incident in a series of killings targeting people of African descent at the hands of Police in the United States.
