A Congolese man died in Dublin on Friday after he was restrained by several security guards in an alleged shoplifting incident – prompting widespread anger and calls for justice.
Video of the incident showed several guards on top of Yves Sakila, 35, in Dublin city centre as he cried out in distress. At one point, a guard appears to kneel on his head or neck. He later appears to become unresponsive. Police are investigating.
The footage has prompted comparisons with the 2020 killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
Local community members held a vigil on Tuesday, chanting “justice for Yves”.
The Irish Council for Civil Liberties is demanding that the death be “swiftly, thoroughly and transparently investigated”.

5 men used all their body weight to restraint one black man. As he was faced down, one continuously pressed his knee on his neck until he stopped breathing.
Happened in Dublin, Ireland. They’re under every post laughing and calling it the Irish George Floyd. Rest in Peace Yves Sakila.

The media is doing the same thing they did when he was alive. Fake love when it’s popular to like him & then try to tear him back down when they realize negativity brings in clicks & views. Shameful.
