Family of black Frenchman who died in police custody call for protests

The family of a black Frenchman who died in police custody in circumstances similar to the killing of George Floyd in the United States spurned talks with the justice minister and called on Tuesday for more street protests instead. Adama Traore was celebrating his 24th birthday on July 19, 2016, when three police officers used their weight to restrain him. "We're demanding acts of justice, not discussions" Assa Traore, Adama's sister, told a press conference."We'll protest in the streets, every week, if necessary."
