Protests have taken place in Italy after the death of a Moroccan-born man while being forcibly restrained by two police officers in the northern city of Bologna.
A video circulating on Italian media shows two policemen sitting on Fakir as he lies face down and cries out for them to stop.
About two minutes into the video, Fakir stops struggling.
Several eyewitnesses told Italian media that while Fakir appeared to be in distress he did not threaten anybody and was clearly unarmed.
"You can't die like this," his sister Khadija told Italian media.
