The United Nations Human Rights Council is holding an urgent debate on police brutality and systemic racism in the US, following the international protests over the death of George Floyd

- The United Nations Human Rights Council is holding an urgent debate Wednesday on police brutality and systemic racism in the US, following the international protests over the death of George Floyd.

In a video message George Floyd's brother, Philonise Floyd, addressed the gathering saying,"My brother was unarmed and was accused of passing a counterfeit 20 bill. My family and I had to watch the last moments of his life. When people dared to raise their voice and protest for my brother, they were tear gassed."

"I am asking you to help him. I am asking you to help me. I am asking you to help us - black people in America."
