Robert Dziekański (April 15, 1967–October 14, 2007; pronounced ) was a Polish immigrant to Canada who died on October 14, 2007 after being tasered five times by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) at Vancouver International Airport.
Full details of the incident came to light because it was filmed by a member of the public, Paul Pritchard. The police initially took possession of the video, refusing to return it to Pritchard. Pritchard went to court to obtain it, then released it to the press.
As of May 2009, the Braidwood Inquiry is underway, with public questioning and testimony of individuals involved in the incident.
