The Swedish city of Gothenburg has been shaken by street violence, after an initially peaceful ‘Black Lives Matter’ protest turned into a riot. Police clashed with demonstrators, who threw stones and smashed storefronts.
Defying the Swedish government’s coronavirus guidelines – which ban gatherings of more than 50 people – an estimated 2,000 people assembled in the city of Gothenburg on Sunday, to show solidarity with the worldwide protests that broke out after the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer nearly two weeks ago.
