A protest took a turn for the worst when a Tunisian footballer died after setting himself ablaze to protest against police injustice.
Nzar Issaoui, who formerly plays for US Monastir, posted a video on Facebook, stating that he’s out at the police station protesting against police injustice, as they had once accused him of terrorism after he had a dispute with a banana seller.
The 35 years, with whatever motive, set himself on fire, he was immediately taken to the hospital, but unfortunately, he already suffered a third-degree burn, so he could not make it.
A video selfie circulating on social media shows Issaoui screaming: “For a dispute with someone selling bananas at 10 dinars (£2.65), I get accused of terrorism at the police station.
According to his brother Ryad, he would be buried today.
People have been commenting on the modality which the 35 years old chose to protest as they called it “too dangerous” and that other people shouldn’t emulate as setting yourself on fire would not change the way the world revolves nor will it change the bad system.
