Claim 2: “Hundreds have protested outside the store where a Congolese man in Dublin died”
MISLEADING
While multiple sources (DW News, Reuters) confirm that hundreds protested in Dublin over the death of the Congolese man, the evidence specifically states the protests took place 'outside Ireland's parliament', not 'outside the store' as claimed.
