Travel to the United States has been advised against after Tyre Nichols was beaten to death by police officers in Memphis, Tennessee.
In the aftermath of the 29-year-old FedEx worker’s death, the Foreign Offices issued new warnings to travellers to be on the lookout for ‘violent’ protests.

A sickening video was released this week showing five police officers assaulting Tyre during a traffic stop on January 7. They can be seen kicking him in the head and spraying him with pepper spray. He was left unable to sit up while the officers stood around doing nothing to help him. Tyre died three days later, on January 10, in a hospital.
