\u2018He jumped to save himself because he had hope\u2019<\/h5>\n

Hundreds of protestors gathered in Limassol<\/strong> on Saturday slamming racism outside the apartment where Bangladeshi national Anis Rahman jumped to his death to escape a police raid.<\/p>\n

\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Riot officers were out in full gear with the water canon Aiantas <\/strong>on stand by as demonstrators chanted \u201cfury and grief. We will miss you Anis.\u201d
\nProtestors slammed what they described as double standards by the state, where golden passports were given to criminals, but poor foreigners live in fear.
\nRahman died on Wednesday<\/strong> after police raided the fifth-floor apartment he lived in.
\nConflicting reports have emerged over what actually happened. Police claim they had consent before entering the flat and did not require a search warrant.
\nNew testimony has emerged however challenging the narrative and claiming police broke down the door and began handcuffing people before moving on and breaking another bedroom door.
\nWith the latest allegations painting a grimmer picture, protesters said Rahman\u2019s death was nothing less than a \u201cgovernment murder.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Cypriot friend of Rahman said \u201cAnis was the sweetest guy that ever walked through the old town.
\n\u201cHe used to joke that he was from Pachna village because he wanted to become a Cypriot. <\/strong>
\n\u201cAnd when his friends from Bangladesh spoke English, he responded in Greek to help them learn the language.
\n\u201cHe jumped to save himself because he had hope. He knew his paperwork was being worked on.
\n\u201cHow is his mother going to get her son back? I am ashamed of being Cypriot<\/strong>.\u201d
\nIn total, 11 Bangladeshi nationals were living in the apartment,<\/strong> which had listed as dangerous. Police have made no announcements on the investigation over the landlord who rented out the flat for a reported \u20ac2,000.
\nPolice said Rahman was 23 however his friends say he was 19<\/strong>. The force also said all individuals were living in Cyprus illegally.<\/p>\n

The protest began outside Rahman\u2019s flat and moved to the Limassol CID police station.
\nIt is believed a number of Rahman\u2019s flatmates are being held in custody there.
\nA 22-year-old man who was living with Rahman and also jumped out of the apartment was taken to hospital on Wednesday for severe fractures across his body.
\nDemonstrators say they have no word from authorities on his health status. \u201cIs he even alive?\u201d they asked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
