Thousands gather for Black Lives Matter rallies in Australia

Shomporko Desk:-Protests went ahead in assist of the Black Lives Matter movement in far-flung parts of Australia on Saturday against the counsel of government and health authorities however on a considerably smaller scale than the previous weekend, once tens of thousands rallied in cities on the geographic region.

The largest demonstration became in Perth, the Western Australia state capital, where the Australian Broadcasting Corp. estimated that 5,000 human beings accumulated to honour George Floyd and don’t forget indigenous Australian human beings who have died whilst in custody.

Floyd, a black man, died in handcuffs on May 25 while a white Minneapolis police officer pressed a knee on his neck. His death has prompted weeks of protests in the U.S. and around the world with the same theme: Black Lives Matter.

The threat of rain and lack of a city council permit meant the Perth rally didn’t reach the expected 8,000-15,000 people organizers had hoped would attend.

Hannah McGlade, a human rights lawyer and activist, called for an independent investigation into indigenous deaths in custody and rejected calls from politicians for people not to gather for the protests.

“They told us not to come. They told us to be silent. We will not be silent,” McGlade said.

Western Australia state Premier Mark McGowan had urged organizers to postpone the event, saying “this is about trying to save people’s lives.”

A man in his 30s who attended the rally in Melbourne last weekend later tested positive for the coronavirus, heightening concerns about a potential second wave in Australia just as the federal and state governments are easing restrictions.

Western Australia COVID-19 regulations prohibit crowds of more than 300 from gathering, although police weren’t enforcing social distancing fines and organizers offered face masks and hand sanitizer to protesters on Saturday.

The nationwide day of protests started in the far north, with more than 1,000 people gathering in City Park in Darwin, which has the highest proportion of Aboriginal people of Australia’s state capitals. Police in the North Territory issued a statement saying the event was peaceful “and allowed community members to express their views in a safe environment.”
