Two protests were held Saturday, May 6, in front of the Shymboya station in Tokyo, one of which continued to a popular shopping area, where about 500 Japanese citizens denounced the violent behavior toward a Kurdish immigrant, Japan Times and Isahi Shimbon reported.

The Japanese police beat a Kurdish citizen three days before the murder of black U.S. citizen George Lloyd by a police force.

In a video showing the treatment of a Japanese police against the Kurdish citizen, police pushed him to the ground and hit his legs because the Kurdish citizen refused the police to search the car.

The man refused to provide his driver's license and police forced him to drive him out for further investigation, Tokyo metropolitan police said in a statement. On May 30th, the incident sparked protests in Tokyo's Shioba region.

We know what has happened in the United States, but the same problem occurs in Japan as well, but nobody's talking about it, Two Japanese citizens told the Japanese daily Times, referring to the killing of the black man in the United States by the police.
