George Floyd’s brother asks UN to set up commission to probe killings by US police
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe brother of George Floyd calls on the United Nations to set up an independent commission to investigate the killings of African Americans by police.
“I am my brother’s keeper,” says Philonise Floyd, whose brother was killed by a white police officer in Minneapolis on May 25.
“That could have been me,” Floyd tells an urgent debate on racism and police brutality called at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.
“I’m asking you to help me,” he says. “I hope that you will consider establishing an independent commission of inquiry to investigate police killings of black people in America, and the violence against peaceful protesters.”
