Mohamed Elmazi, journalist and contributor to numerous outlets
including the Canary, the interregnum.net, and Sputnik International,
said that in London, a huge and racially mixed crowd came out into the
streets to support the Black Lives Matter movement. Many of them told
him racism and violence on the part of the police in the UK are
pervasive, and merely better covered up than in the US. He also laid
bare the power and influence of the armed forces in the UK, as
exemplified by several war crimes investigations being dropped, and
brought an update on the case of Julian Assange, who has missed even
video conferencing into his most recent hearings because of health
concerns.
