2nd Israeli protester dies of self-immolation...

Another Israeli man has died of burns sustained due to self-immolation in protest against social injustice and the high costs of living in the Israeli regime.

Medical sources said on Wednesday that the 45-year-old disabled Akiva Mafi has died of serious burns sustained when he self-immolated in a wheelchair at a bus stop in Yehud, about 15 kilometers (9 miles) east of Tel Aviv, in late July.

Mafi had burns over about 80 percent of his body.

He was the second victim of self-immolation over the past few weeks. Full story...
