Rally for Robert Dziekanski at Vancouver Art Gallery

Sima Ashrafinia, the passenger who spoke Polish and tried to calm an agitated Robert Dziekanski before he died, speaks to over one thousand people, many from the local Polish community, rallying for Dziekanski and demanding accountability from the RCMP and local police at the Vancouver Art Gallery in Vancouver, British Columbia, November 24, 2007. Polish immigrant Dziekanski died after being tasered several times and wrestled to the floor by RCMP officers as they attempted to arrest him at International Arrivals of YVR Vancouver Airport on October 14, 2007.
