Hundreds of protesters in Dublin have demanded justice following the death of Yves Sakila, a Congolese-born man who died after being pinned to the ground by security guards.

Demonstrators gathered outside the Irish parliament to protest the death of Yves Sakila, who became unresponsive while being detained by security personnel for an alleged shoplifting incident. Activists are drawing direct parallels between this event and the 2020 killing of George Floyd, highlighting concerns over racism and security tactics used in Ireland.
