Fearful of conflict, organisers have cancelled a peaceful protest planned for Sydney over the death of George Floyd in the US.
A rally planned at Sydney’s downtown Hyde Park for Tuesday was cancelled on Monday after people threatened to create "havoc and protest against the event," an organiser said on social media.
The rally was presented as a peaceful protest against the over-representation of Indigenous Australians in Australia’s criminal justice system as well as in solidarity for Floyd who was "brutally and inhumanly murdered".
