HONG KONG (Reuters): Dozens of people gathered in front of the US Consulate in Hong Kong on Sunday (June 7) to protest the death of American George Floyd, who died when a white police officer in Minneapolis knelt on his neck.
The protesters, mainly international students and members of Hong Kong's League of Social Democrats, a political advocacy group for human rights, stood in pouring rain holding photos of Floyd and signs that read "Black Lives Matter", a movement against racial injustice that has gone global in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic since Floyd's death on May 25.
