Man dies under police restraint in Italy, sparking investigation and protests
Abderrahim Fakir, 42, died July 19 in Bologna while two police officers held him face-down. Bystander video shows officers sitting on him until he stopped moving. Prosecutors launched a manslaughter investigation — meaning they are examining whether someone caused his death without intending to. Several thousand people protested; breakaway clashes injured 64 officers. PM Meloni backed the investigation but condemned the violence.
