"I can't breathe" - The British version

Three G4S security guards have been found not guilty of the manslaughter of a man who died during an attempted deportation at Heathrow airport. They had been accused of restricting Mr Mubenga's breathing. Jimmy Mubenga, 46, suffered a fatal heart attack after being restrained on a flight, in October 2010. 

Other passengers recall Mr Mubenga crying out "I can't breathe" as he was pinned down in his seat - while already being handcuffed from behind with his seatbelt on.

Mr Mubenga's wife Adrienne said: "I am shocked and disappointed. It is hard for me to understand how the jury reached this decision with all this evidence that Jimmy said over and over that he could not breathe.
