Dublin protest urges probe into ‘George Floyd’-style death

DUBLIN: Protesters in Dublin demanded “justice” Saturday for a Congolese man who died after he was restrained by security guards, in an incident likened to George Floyd’s murder in the United Statess six years ago. Around 100 people demonstrated in Ireland’s capital to call for an independent and transparent probe into the death of 35-year-old Yves Sakila earlier this month. Video footage widely shared on social media showed Sakila being held on the ground for almost five minutes by security workers outside a department store on a busy shopping street in central Dublin on May 15.
