# List of George Floyd protests outside the United States

George Floyd, an African American man, was murdered on 25 May 2020 during a police arrest. Protests seeking justice for Floyd began in the United States the next day, with citizens of other countries soon following suit. Internationally, protesters demonstrated opposition to racism worldwide, opposed police brutality, questioned the arming of police, and expressed solidarity with their counterparts in the United States. Prominent local issues included the 2016 death of Adama Traoré near Paris while in police custody (for whom roughly 20,000 people protested at various times) and the high rate of death amongst incarcerated Indigenous Australians.
Protests took place in over 60 countries. The protests took place during the COVID-19 pandemic, during which gathering in crowds was strongly advised against in some parts of the world, and outright banned in others.

The US Embassy added that they had not asked the police to stop the protest.

### Southeastern Asia

* Indonesia: Papuans have been protesting for decades against how the Indonesian government has treated them. The use of police brutality against Papuan students resulted in a serious series of protests in 2019. Seven Papuans arrested the previous year, known as the "Balikpapan Seven", were given "surprisingly light jail terms on treason charges" after the George Floyd protests began, possibly to avoid the unrest seen in American protests. Many drew parallels between the George Floyd protests and those of the Papuans, resulting in the trending of the hashtag #PapuanLivesMatter online and people in George Floyd protests outside of Indonesia also expressing solidarity with the Papuans. Protestors also likened George Floyd with Obby Kogoya, a Papuan student living in Yogyakarta whose head was stepped on by an Indonesia policeman while he was lying face down on the ground as the police held his dorm under siege to prevent a peaceful protest. Journalists, both foreign and domestic, face heavy resistance from the Indonesian government when attempting to report events in Papua.

The protest occurred on the morning of 5 June in which activists took a knee in solidarity with BLM while chanting against the signing of the upcoming Anti-Terror bill. Police clad in anti-riot gear and a SWAT team were called in to disperse the protest as it was against the enacted quarantine and social distancing protocols. After protesters refused to comply, both uniformed and non-uniformed policemen stormed the campus which is clear violation of the Sotto-Enrile Accord. Seven protesters and one bystander were arrested. On 8 June, a local court ordered the release of the individuals being detained. The following day on 9 June, the eight detainees were released without bail.
