Black Lives Matter protest have spread around the world  after George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, died in Minneapolis, Minnesota, after Derek Chauvin, a white police officer, knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes while he was handcuffed face down in the street.

George Floyd was arrested after a shopkeeper called the police on suspicion of Floyd using a counterfeit $20 bill. George Floyd dies after being arrested by police outside the shop. A video showed Floyd being arrested and a white police officer continuing to kneel on his neck for several minutes even after he pleaded that he could not breathe.

Now, the protest has spread all around the world. Here are some powerful pictures.
