Jun 08 (NHK) - An estimated 1,000 people have taken to the streets in the Japanese city of Osaka, joining forces with protests around the world against racism.
Japanese and foreign citizens marched for 2 kilometers on Sunday in the first major anti-racism rally in the city since a black man died in police custody in the US state of Minnesota on May 25.
The participants chanted "Black Lives Matter," one of the slogans of the global protests. At the end of the march, they kneeled to express their opposition to violence and racial discrimination.
