Bologna: protests and clashes
after Fakir’s death.

The death of Abderrahim Fakir, who suffocated following an intervention by police, raises tensions in Bologna. After a heated confrontation between demonstrators and law enforcement, the protest turns into clashes. The city centre becomes a battleground: officers charge and strike demonstrators with batons, while some protesters dismantle tram-construction materials to use as improvised weapons.
