 Hello and welcome to the International Daily Roundup by People's Dispatch, where we bring you some of the major news developments from across the world. Our headlines. Civil rights groups sue Donald Trump for violence on protesters at a photo op. Turkish parliament expels three opposition legislators who may be arrested, Uruguayan workers strike over government's neoliberal push, Greek teachers gear up for strike against government's education bill. We begin with an update from the ongoing protests against police violence and racism in the US. A lawsuit was filed against US President Donald Trump along with other top officials of his administration on Thursday. The American Civil Liberties Union ACLU announced it along with other civil rights groups was filing the lawsuit on behalf of Black Lives Matter. The lawsuit charges Trump of violating constitutional rights and is related to violence by law enforcement agencies in the US Capitol Washington DC on Monday. The violent eviction at Lafayette Square adjacent to the White House on Monday with tear gas and other weapons wounded dozens and led to the arrest of over 800 people in a single day. It was reportedly done to clear the path for Trump to walk up to the historic St. John's Episcopal Church adjacent to the square for a photo op with the Bible. Apart from the president, other federal officials named as defendants in the lawsuit are US defense secretary Mike Esper, attorney general William Barr and the director of the secret services James M. Murray. The lawsuit alleges that these officials, particularly the president, conspired to violate the constitutional rights of the protesters. In our infocus section, we bring you a footage from the ground in the United States from our friends at Breakthrough News. They talk to those taking part in the protests and the relatives of some of the victims. What was it that brought you all the way from Stockton, California here to Minneapolis, Minnesota? When I heard the cry of Florida, when he says mama, and when I was watching the video, I had to watch it twice and I said I have to come because he had called for the mothers and that's why I'm here. What would justice look like for you in cases like this? When we start seeing officers being put in prison for murder. Tell us the love on you here standing for it. Yes, my name is Dee Friday Hall. My son is Kobe Friday. He was executed August the 16th, 2016 in Stockton, California by officer David Wells. And the nature of the assassination was a mistaken identity. So actually my son was going to the corner store and he was pursuing a suspect and he didn't have a visual, he didn't have a digital, he didn't have a picture of the person that he was looking for. My son had dreads, the guy had dreads. My son had on a white tee, he had on a white tee. So he shot my son, he shot my son down and he killed him. So I just want to say that I'm going to fight for my family, I'm going to fight for me, and I'm going to stand till every breath is out of my body. So if you could just tell us your name and the family members you're here standing for. Hi, my name is Paulette Quinn, I'm Phillip Quinn's mother. He was killed on 9, 24, 15, I called the police to have him come help me because he was suicidal and I needed help to help him get medical attention. Instead they came with guns drawn and they shot him. They said that he would lunge forward but he didn't. And then when he was on the ground, I told the officer, McGuire, you have him down now, please don't kill him. But he did ended up shooting him in the ways. They left him laying on the ground and won't let me go come for him. And I was like, he was like right here and I was like across the street sitting on the curb and right then and there I just lost everything in my whole soul. I don't know what else to say about it but I would really appreciate justice for some of us anyways even if I won't get it, let George Floyd's family get it please. And what would justice look like for you in cases like what you've seen? For the cops to stop letting the cops get away with murder because just because they're law enforcement doesn't give them the right that they can just kill us and thinking that nothing's going to happen. We need stuff to happen, not just justice. We need action. Could you tell us your name and tell us about the love that you lost, please? Okay, my name is Shantel Brooks. I'm from Chicago, Illinois. My son was Michael Wesley, shot and killed by Chicago Police, June 16, 2013. He was running away from the police and he got shot in the back. They tried to justify seeing that he had two guns. One was an AK-47 and one was a handgun. But it was way impossible because he had on gym shorts and running. When we asked Superintendent Eddie Johnson to present the tape to us, me and William Calloway, he showed us the video and it clearly showed that he didn't have a gun or he didn't point a gun at any police officer or anything. We haven't got any justice at all. They closed my case without me even knowing. And also, like I said, my son was 15 years old, so, you know, this is just while, you know, when a police killed, it's like it just gets swept under the rug. So we didn't want it to come to this like all the violence and stuff, but what more can we ask for? Like I said, my son been dead since 2013. And we've been out here, boots on the ground, steady moving forward, trying to have peaceful protests and stuff like that. But then when buildings and things get burned down, people want to say that, you know, we're wild and hooligans and all that type of stuff. But we're just going to keep fighting for justice. We plan on going to Washington, D.C. next year. We was planning on going this year, but due to all the stuff that's been going on, we couldn't make it. But next year, we going and we making a stand because we have to stop this killing of our people like this.

In our next story, the Parliamentary Council of Turkey's Grand National Assembly on Thursday expelled three opposition party MPs, two of the expelled MPs, Leila Güven and Musa Farisogulari, are members of the People's Democratic Party or the HDP. The other, Ennis Berberoglu, is a member of the Republican People's Party or the CHP from Istanbul. The two HDP MPs have been convicted of being members of the banned military group, Kurdistan Workers' Party or the PKK. Güven and Farisogulari are now set to serve prison sentences of six and nine years each. Güven has been on an 80-day hunger strike against the solitary confinement of PKK's founder, Abdullah Akalane. Berberoglu, on the other hand, has been sentenced to prison for a term of 70 months. He was convicted in 2018 for providing a journalist with footage showing Turkish intelligence ferring weapons to rebel groups of the Free Syrian Army. With the expulsion, the parliamentarians will be stripped of the immunity. All three MPs had sentences against them upheld at Turkey's highest Code of Appeals. Opposition MPs accuse the ruling Justice and Development Party or the AKP of being the enemy of democracy. The HDP parliamentary leadership called the move a pro-government coup. Uruguayan workers went on a four-hour national strike on Thursday and demonstrated in the capital, Montevideo. The mass action was in protest against the urgent consideration law, or the LUC, that is being promoted by the ruling right-wing government of President Louis Le Calpeau. The LUC is a neoliberal package of 476 articles that will affect various public sectors such as health, education, housing, social security, economy and employment. Unions say that the law favours big companies and will affect the generation of employment through domestic industries. The union leaders have questioned the priorities of the national government and the promotion of such a law in the midst of a pandemic. Under the slogan of the urgency is the people, protesters wore four face masks and maintained social distancing. Thousands of citizens and workers participated. A massive demonstration was carried out outside the headquarters of the General Assembly while the Senate was debating the vote on the said law. The call for the strike and the mobilization was given by the trade union confederation, the PITCNT. And in our last story, teachers in Greece are gearing up for another mobilization against a conservative government's new education bill. Teachers and staff unions, along with the all workers' militant front of the Parme, have called for strikes across Greece on June 9th in protest against a neoliberal reforms in education. The proposed legislation by the ruling new democracy government in Greece has attracted widespread opposition. The bill plans to introduce massive fund cuts for schools, privatized university departments and increased class sizes. Trade unions have argued that the bill will put great deal of pressure on students as it will introduce measures that will put exams at the center of the schooling process. There will also be compulsory transfers of students to increased class sizes. The government will also set up harsh disciplinary and surveillance measures for students, including a controversial move to install cameras inside classrooms. It will also lead to job losses for many educators, once class sizes increase, as it will leave hundreds of educators redundant. It will also put into process a corporate style evaluation process, which will punish schools for not living up to certain standards and will affect poorer students the most. That's all we have in this episode of the International Daily Roundup. We'll be back on Monday with the latest news from across the world. Until then, keep watching People's Dispatch.
