Yesterday, Mike Browns parents--Lesley McSpadden and Michael Brown Sr.--headed to Geneva, Switzerland for the United Nations World Conference on Human Rights where they will testify on the killing of their son and the discriminatory police violence targeting Black Missourians. The testimony is accompanied by a 13-page report where the family details the pain and suffering theyve endured over the past 2 months as Missouri law enforcement and Governor Nixon have failed to secure justice for Mike Brown, choosing instead to ramp up heavily militarized police violence against peaceful protestors. The report makes a clear case that the Americas crisis of police brutality and Mike Browns tragic killing violate the UN Convention Against Torture.
