The police are on trial for the death of a Nigerian in Switzerland
Six Swiss cops are being tried for killing an unarmed Nigerian man by accident five years ago.
Mike Ben Peter died after being arrested in Lausanne.
The cops said they did what they always do to catch the man they thought was selling drugs.
When he didn't want to be checked, the security people pushed him to the ground.
The lawyers for the accused will say that Mike Ben Peter's death may have been caused by medical problems that were already there.
Anti-racist groups in Switzerland and the family of the person who died drew parallels to the killing of George Floyd by police in Minneapolis, USA.
