Yesterday, thousands of people turned up to vigils around Australia to commemorate the death of 15-year old Noongar-Yamiji boy, Cassius Turvey, who died after allegedly being beaten to death on his way home from school in Perth, in what many say was a racially motivated murder and hate crime.
Around 3-5,000 people turned up to Sydney Town Hall, Gadigal, where a candle-light vigil was held. Members of Cassius’ family were present and were amongst speakers who called for an end to the continuing violence against Aboriginal people.
