SOUNDBITEFormer policeman Derek Chauvin is sentenced to 22 and a half years in jail for murdering African American George Floyd, a killing that sparked America’s biggest demonstrations for racial justice in decades.
The UN rights chief called Monday for systemic racism against black people to be immediately dismantled around the world to avoid repeating outrages like the killing of George Floyd.
“We need a transformative approach that tackles the interconnected areas that drive racism, and lead to repeated, wholly avoidable tragedies like the death of George Floyd.”
