The news has refuelled debate over the use of the &quot;non-lethal&quot; weapon, which has been blamed for the death of a Polish immigrant killed in Vancouver airport on 14 October. The incident was filmed by a passenger who put the images online a few weeks later. Robert Dziekanski, the man we see in the video, died a few minutes after being shocked with a Taser. We have commentary from an Amnesty International representative, who condemns the abuse of the North American weapon, and from Tom Smith, co-founder of Taser.<a href="/en/comment/reply/1499#comment-form"><br /> Post your questions on his profile page.</a> </p> <span style="font-size: xx-small"><span style="font-size: xx-small"><span style="font-size: xx-small"><span style="font-size: xx-small"><br /> </span></span></span></span> http://observers.france24.com/en/content/taser_nonlethal_weapon#comments video human rights police security TASER weapon 49.260635 -123.119659 Fri, 14 Dec 2007 14:56:50 +0100 Julien 1529 at http://observers.france24.com
