Back in the U.S., a federal court has ruled that Black Lives Matters activist DeRay Mckesson cannot be held responsible for injuries inflicted by someone else while attending a protest that Mckesson had organized following the 2016 police killing of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The ruling came after the U.S. Supreme Court in April declined to take the case. The ACLU hailed Thursday’s decision in favor of Mckesson as “a crucial win for the First Amendment right to protest.”
