Fresh protest in Berlin for Floyd; France plans rally against police violence

Protests against the death of George Floyd are continuing for a third day in Berlin, though the gathering outside the US embassy Monday is significantly smaller than earlier rallies, which drew up to 2,000 people.

Paul Schreiner, 69 and originally from Wisconsin, is among a dozen people holding a vigil outside the embassy Monday. Its my duty, I feel, to be here, he said. Theres a very interesting phrase that white silence is violence, and that moved me to make sure I came today.

Holding a sign with the names of George Floyd, Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner and others, American citizen Carmen Osorio Rodrigues says she is concerned about the direction the United States is heading. We have to confront these social injustices, she says, adding: We need clear leadership on how to act.

In Paris,family and friends of a French black man who died shortly after he was arrested by police in 2016 have called for a protest on Tuesday which will also pay homage to George Floyd.

The circumstances of the death of Adama Traore, a French 24-year-old man of Malian origin, are still under investigation by justice authorities.

Calls for Tuesdays protest in front of the Paris court come after some medical experts last week attributed the death to a cardiac problem, the latest in a series of conflicting medical assessments.

French police claimed Traore died of a heart attack due to preexisting medical condition. His family said he died from asphyxiation from police tactics.

In a video message published on social media, Traores sister Assa Traore calls for protesters to express their indignation at a time when the world, when France is outraged by the death of George Floyd.

She says they had the same words, their last words: I cant breathe, I cant breathe.

She denounces the latest medical experts report as racist and untrue.

The family wants the officers in charge of Traores arrest to go on trial.
