Dozens of protesters took to the streets of Dessau on Monday as part of an annual demonstration in memory of Oury Jalloh, a Sierra Leonean asylum seeker in Germany, who died as a consequence of fire in a Dessau police cell, in 2005. The death has been treated as a judicial scandal in Germany, with many speculating a police cover-up.
Protesters marched through the city, chanting slogans and holding up banners that declared Jalloh’s death to be murder.
