Yves Sakila should still be alive today.

Restraining him on the ground for almost five minutes is deeply disturbing and yet another deplorable example of unlawful force being used against a Black man.

This must stop.

Yves has lived in Ireland for decades. Ireland has an obligation to eradicate racism and to protect people's right to life.

While investigations take place, hundreds of protesters have taken to the streets in support of Yves’s family and the Congolese community in Ireland.

We demand #JusticeForYves.

A big crowd outside the Dáil today demanding #JusticeForYves.

We cannot accept anyone being killed on our streets.

As many people also said today, this has to be the beginning of a movement against those trying to spread hate and divide us.

Ní neart go cur le chéile✊

This horrific killing happened in a context of a growing movement of hate and dehumanisation against people of colour. Just days before, Bertie Ahern was videoed saying “the ones I worry about are the Africans” and “we can’t be taking in people from the Congo and all these places.”

This has to be the beginning of a movement against those trying to spread hate and divide us.
