Assa Traoré organized a large peaceful protest to demand justice and truth for her brother Adama Traoré. This protest on 2 June 2020 attracted more than 20,000 people. Despite bans on gathering, they responded to the call to fight racism and police violence. With placards “I can’t breathe”, “Justice for Adama”, “Justice for all”, “No justice, no peace”, “Black lives matter”, black T-shirts and slogans against police violence, they expressed their indignation against injustice..
She said that day:
“No matter what skin color, no matter what religion, you cannot remain a spectator in the face of injustice and police impunity […] France is the only country where the rally has been refused.”»
“My brother’s not coming back, but all the fights we’re gonna do, we’re doing for you.”
Some demonstrators gathered near the American Embassy, Place de la Concorde, on the Champ-de-Mars or near the Eiffel Tower. It should be noted that it has been 4 years since the Traoré family has been seeking justice for Adama, a young black man of 24 years old, who died following his arrest in Beaumont-sur-Oise in 2016, following a belly tackle..
Many celebrities, politicians and personalities have come forward for more social justice.e.
