USA: Mike Brown solidarity protest hits Ferguson on one year anniversary

Close to 250 mourners marched through the streets of Ferguson to commemorate the first anniversary of the killing of 18-year-old Michael Brown by white police officer Darren Wilson, Friday. Killed on August 9, 2014, residents of Ferguson gathered at West Florissant Avenue before marching through the streets of the city to the Ferguson Police station. No incidents were recorded and the protest remained peaceful. Actions have been called across the United States to demand justice for Brown, whose killing ignited racial tensions and sparked month-long protests, with heavily-militarised police squads being deployed on the ground. Wilson was acquitted for the killing by a grand jury on November 25.
