A young Romani man has died in the Czech town of Teplice after police kneeled on his neck in a manner similiar to the death last year of the American arrest victim George Floyd.

Video of the incident is circulating widely, raising tensions among the marginalised Roma minority. The incident is being bracketed with an attack on Romani children at a music camp run by the Romani musician Ida Kelarová and the death of a Romani man in police custody.

The video is disturbing. Do not watch with vulnerable persons.
