This is Mohamed Bouazizi protesting corruption and starting the Arab Spring.
Tunesia was in the news, a group of politicians won the Nobel peace prize. I thought these self-immolation guys deserve some respect. No bigger honour than a MABB thread.

Here is Jan Palach after the end of the 1968 Prague Spring. The Czechoslovakians had something nice in mind but were stopped by the Warsaw Pact combined army

Re: Self-immolation
I would imagine the fact of bringing a match close to oneself doused in gasoline isn't as immediately intimidating as jumping off of a height or pulling a trigger. I bet the first 2 seconds when the "oh shit I'm on fire" kicks in must be the worst.
