From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The
International Day Against Police Brutality
occurs on March 15. It first began in 1997 as an initiative of the Montreal-based
Collective Opposed to Police Brutality
and the
Black Flag
group in Switzerland. A march is held yearly in
Montreal
.
Acceptance of March 15 as a focal day of solidarity against
police brutality
varies from one place to another. In the United States, the October 22 Coalition to Stop Police Brutality, Repression, and the Criminalization of a Generation,
[1]
a group mounted by the
RCP
has succeeded in building support for October 22 (also known as O22) as
National Anti Police Brutality Day
since 1995.
