Tunisian dies after setting himself on fire

  • 11 years ago
An unemployed man has died of his injuries after setting fire to himself in Tunis.

Twenty-seven-year-old Adel Kedhri was selling cigarettes in the capital on Tuesday (March 11) when he started the fire.

He was rushed to hospital, but died on Wednesday (March 12).

His brother said he had been supporting the family but had struggled finding a job.

It's the latest in a series of such acts since Mohamed Bouazizi's self-immolation, that many say sparked the Arab Spring.
