On June 6, local time, about 15,000 people gathered in the Alexanderplatz in the center of Berlin, Germany, to hold a demonstration to mourn George Freud, who was killed in the violent law enforcement of the American police, to protest against racism and police violence. This is the largest gathering in Berlin since the outbreak of the New Crown Outbreak.
The square was blocked by protesters wearing masks, and many people put on black T-shirts. To commemorate George Floyd, an African-American man who died in the violent law enforcement of the Minneapolis police in the United States, people sat in silence for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. This is the length of time that George Freud was pressed by the police with his knee before his death.
On the same day, demonstrations of the same theme were held in major German cities such as Munich, Frankfurt, Cologne, Hanover and Stuttgart, with more than thousands of participants. The number of demonstrators in Munich has reached 20,000. (Reporter Peng Dawei edited Le Xiaomin)
