"Mr President, the tragic death of a Polish citizen, Robert Dziekoński, at Vancouver airport last year had a profound impact on public opinion in Poland and in Canada. By chance, the events were recorded on film. The recording shows that Robert Dziekoński’s death was the result of brutal action by the Canadian police, who made needless use of an electric stun gun against a totally exhausted individual in need of assistance. We were amazed to learn recently that a Canadian court has ruled the police officers will not be held responsible for their action in any way.
In my own name, on behalf of my fellow Member Mr Wojciechowski and conveying the wishes of many people in Poland and in Canada, I appeal to the President of this House to call on the Canadian authorities to provide accurate information concerning the circumstances surrounding the death of a Polish citizen. This person was of course also a citizen of the European Union."@en1
