nov 28, 2020 - Protests Emerge Across the World
Description:
On November 28, thousands flooded the streets of France to protest a new security law that contains a measure prohibiting the filming of police. More than 100 local elected officials are also joining the protests.
The demonstrators are recalling two events of police brutality that occurred this past week, as well. In one instance, video surveillance surfaced, showing police officers beating a black man in Paris. The police officers in the video have been suspended pending investigation. Many demonstrators believe this is proof that police should be filmed.
Protestors later clashed with police, who used tear gas in an attempt to break up the protests. On November 30, France’s ruling party promised to change some measures of the proposed security law.
On November 28, Black Lives Matter protests emerged in Brazil after a black man was beaten to death in a supermarket. Investigators say the man died of suffocation, causing hundreds to flood the streets of Brazil in protest. The two security guards involved have been arrested but not charged.
On November 28, a meeting about pork imports turned violent at the Taiwanese parliament offices. As some officials suggested lower restrictions on US pork imports, other officials threw pig intestines and punches, causing a fight to break out among the two parties. (CNN)
