| Algeria: new death after self-immolation |
| 2011-03-01 |
| [Ennahar] A young man died after he had set himself on fire late Sunday afternoon in the wilaya (province) of Bordj Bou Arredidj, 235 km east of Algiers, reported on Monday El Watan daily. The victim, L. Abderrazak, aged 25, was burned in the third degree. Despite his rapid evacuation, he died Sunday from his injuries, said a medical source at the local hospital, Lakhdar Bouzidi. The newspaper, quoting a source from the wilaya, indicates that the young man has committed his act following a problem with the deposit slip for an identity card. This is the fifth death by immolation in Algeria, where there have been several other attempts since mid-January, shortly after the riots triggered a few days by soaring prices of commodities. |
