2001 death of man in police custody in Hamburg, Germany
The unofficial street sign of Achidi John Square at Rote Flora
The death of Achidi John occurred while he was in police custody on December 12, 2001, in Hamburg, Germany, due to a combination of a serious heart defect, cocaine use, and the stress caused by emetics forcibly administered by police. Four days earlier, Achidi John had been forcibly administered an emetic to secure evidence of suspected drug trafficking against him. At the political level, the case led to a stop of emetics in Berlin and Lower Saxony.[1] In Bremen, the Greens applied to end the practice of using emetics. The application was rejected.[2] Bremen stopped the use of emetics in 2005 after the similar death of Laye-Alama Condé. In commemoration of the case, the place in front of the Rote Flora has unofficially been named Achidi John Square by left-wing groups.[3]
