, an African American, was killed on 25 May 2020 during a police arrest. Protests seeking justice for Floyd began in the United States the next day. Citizens of other countries soon followed suit. Internationally, protesters have shown opposition to racism worldwide,
opposed police brutality,

and expressed solidarity with their counterparts in the United States.
Prominent local issues have included the 2016 death of Adama Traoré near Paris while in police custody and the high rate of death amongst incarcerated Indigenous Australians.

Papuans have been protesting for decades against how the Indonesian government has treated them. The use of police brutality against Papuan students resulted in a serious series of protests in 2019. Seven Papuans arrested last year, known as the "Balikpapan Seven", were given "surprisingly light jail terms on treason charges" after the George Floyd protests began, possibly to avoid the unrest seen in American protests. Many have drawn parallels between the George Floyd protests and those of the Papuans, resulting in the trending of the hashtag #PapuanLivesMatter online and people in George Floyd protests outside of Indonesia also expressing solidarity with the Papuans. Protestors have also likened George Floyd with Obby Kogoya, a Papuan student living in Yogyakarta whose head was stepped on by an Indonesia policeman while he was lying face down on the ground as the police held his dorm under siege to prevent a peaceful protest.
Journalists, both foreign and domestic, face heavy resistance from the Indonesian government when attempting to report events in Papua.

In 2016, Adama Traoré, a 24-year-old Malian French man, died by asphyxiation while in police custody. In response, protestors in France had been seeking justice for him since 2016. When a police investigation exonerated the three police officers associated with his death in a report released at the end of May during the beginning of the George Floyd protests, protesters took to the streets in massive numbers, with roughly 20,000 demonstrators throughout France violating pandemic protocols to rally for him. Drawing parallels between Adama and Floyd, many protestors seeking justice for Adama also expressed solidarity with the American protestors seeking justice for Floyd, including Adama's sister.
