Ireland's 'George Floyd Moment' Sparks Protests Demanding Justice for Congolese Man The streets of Dublin erupted into chaos last Thursday as hundreds gathered outside parliament, chanting "no cover up, no delay" in a bid to demand justice for Yves Sakila, a 35 year old Congolese born man who died after being restrained by security guards outside a department store.
Sakila's death bears an unsettling resemblance to the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
A man alleged to have committed a minor infraction was detained and pinned to the ground by multiple individuals for an extended period, with bystanders watching as he became unresponsive.
