More than 80.000 people protested against racism and police butality, asking justice for George Floyd and Adama Traoré. Adama Traoré was killed by police officers in 2016. His death ressembles George Floyd’s, both held down under the weight of 3 men, saying “I can’t breath”. Adama was unconsious, they could’ve transported him to the hospital but he was still taken to the station where the officers left his body in the courtyard, still handcuffed and unconcious, where he died. There is no video of his murder and no actions have been taken, none of the officers involved were arrested. His family is being persecuted everyday for asking for justice. 2 of his brothers were put in jail for it. His sister, Assa Traoré, who organised this protest and became the leader of the movement in France, had the police storm her place to intimidate her from going on with the protest (she had already left and is safe). Unlike what all the medias are trying to say that there was “barely 20.000 protesters who wanted to start a fight with the police”, 80.000 people and thousands more across the country peacefully asked for justice, making history. I know you can’t keep up with every country but the true story deserves to be told and Adama Traoré’s name deserves to be said. Like so many others. BLACK LIVES MATTER everywhere.
