Black Lives Matter movement reaches France
The Black Lives matter movement, which begun in the North American country of the United States of America, has reached the European country of France.
Recently, tens of thousands of people have assembled in streets across the French capital of Paris to express their protest over the 2016 black man custodial killing.
The death of the black man in the police custody in the year 2016 in France has been likened to the death of a black man in a US state in the recent past.
The protests have defied the measures imposed to curb the spread of the Covid-19 outbreak in the European country of France.
In certain regions where the protesters have gathered to express their anger, some small clashes between the police and protesters have happened.
The Paris police department has distanced itself from the custodial death allegation leveled against them by the protesters.
If the things progress in this direction, the movement may even spread in other countries in the continent of Europe.
Recently, a protest broke out in the United States following the custodial death of an unarmed black man in the country. The protest turned violent when force was used against the protesters.
