death of George Floyd at the hands of police the protests have spread

worldwide - including here in Seoul this weekend our Chuang Jean was there the

protesters on Saturday many of them wearing black shirts health signs in

both Korean and English calling for an end to racism more than 100 people have

gathered here in Seoul to show their solidarity with black lives matter

movement and they're marching with one message social justice to support black

lives matter yeah because we're sick and tired of all the

racism that goes on against especially me as a black person we're just sick and

tired of what's going on the protesters were chanting phrases like black lives

matter and I can't breathe and though police were on the scene they were able

to make their voices heard without any interference the protesters are far from

the state of Minnesota where George Floyd was killed but they say their

movement is global I mean at the end of the day racism is not a problem that's

exclusive and isolated to the United States I think it's a problem in

humanity and it's something that needs to be addressed globally I hope we can

build a world in which we can breathe even though we live in different

countries I think the world we want to live in is the same we'll work together

and create a world free of discrimination in Korea more than 120

organizations signed a joint statement last Friday paying tribute to George

Floyd and criticizing police brutality the government ought yet made an

official statement on them or the worldwide movement joangel arirang news
