Canberra, April 11 -- Hundreds of Australians on Saturday took to the streets calling for justice and change over the "horrific" number of indigenous people dying in local prisons every year.

As per local media reports protests took place in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Alice Springs and Lismore, these commemorated the 30th anniversary of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody report.

Five deaths took place since March this year.

ABC News quoted Sydney march organizer Lizzie Jarrett saying

"Five deaths in five weeks, if that is not telling you that this is a pandemic against our people,"

Protesters held banners that read "Black Lives Matter" and called on the parliament to take urgent action against such deaths.
