Londoners gathered in Trafalgar Square on Sunday
to protest the death of George Floyd, the Black man whose murder in Minneapolis
by police officers has triggered off a week of protests and rioting across the
USA. Following clashes with the police after they tried to clear a junction in
Parliament Square blocked by protesters, 23 people were arrested.
One
protester, who chose to remain nameless, said the demonstrators had been
protesting peacefully: “We came out here peacefully to protest the injustice in
the UK, it's now a global issue with the murder of George Floyd, everything
that's going on in the world," the protester said. “The police came and
they made it violent. They came and antagonised us; we were protesting
peacefully.”
