In United States, tens of thousands of demonstrators have marched in Washington  to demand an end to racism and brutality by U.S. law enforcement agencies as protests over the killing of a black man by Minneapolis police entered a 12th day.

Large anti-racism rallies also took place in a number of other countries.

In the UK, Parliament Square in central London was filled with people supporting the Black Lives Matter movement, despite calls by the government to avoid mass gatherings for fear of spreading the coronavirus.

In Australia, there were major protests in the cities of Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane that focused the treatment of indigenous Australians.
