Protesters in the University of Manchester gathered after a racial profiling incident that had occurred earlier, marching across campus with an attendance of around 400 demonstrators, which followed the already high tensions on campus after the clashes over a lockdown fence being placed to cage students in.
Hundreds of protesters in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Park returned to the streets for a 4th day of demonstrations demanding justice for 20-year-old Daunte Wright, an unarmed black man murdered by a police officer.

Dozens of protesters in Agrinio returned to the streets in solidarity with the Koufontinas hunger strike, gathering at Dimadi Square before marching to the city center with a heavy police presence that confronted but did not attack demonstrators.
Dozens of protesters gathered at the Cerro Chena mountain in opposition to a proposed sports city at the site near the capital city of Santiago. Torture and disappearances had been known to occur on the mountain under the previous neoliberal dictatorship of Pinochet, and demonstrators demand that all human remains be removed before the sports city begins construction.
