A black European Union lawmaker said that she was pushed by four officers on Tuesday after she began to film police harassing two young black people outside a Brussels railway station
BRUSSELS - A black European Union lawmaker said on Wednesday she was a victim of “extremely traumatic” police violence outside a Brussels railway station, and lodged a complaint against Belgian police.
A police spokeswoman said an investigation into the incident was under way but denied violence had been used. Herzberger-Fofana said police did not react when she said she was a member of the European Parliament, showed her two passports, Belgian residency card and official EU accreditation.The May 25 death of black American George Floyd in police custody has led to weeks of protests in the United States against racism and policy brutality, and prompted more European citizens to challenge discrimination in society.
