Oury Jalloh was an asylum seeker who was found dead, bound and badly burned after a fire in the police cell where he was being held in Dessau, Germany. The hands and feet of Jalloh, who was alone in the cell, were tied to a mattress. A fire alarm went off, but was initially turned off without further action by an officer. The case caused national and international outrage at the official narrative of suicide.
