More cases of self-immolation in Egypt after Tunisia
None
Three more Egyptians set themselves alight on Friday, apparently inspired by an act of self-immolation in Tunisia that prompted protests that led to the ousting of the president.
An unemployed 35-year-old Egyptian set himself alight and was seriously wounded, security and medical sources said.
Two workers from firms in Egypt's textile sector, an industry from which many factory workers have led the most violent demonstrations against the government in recent years, also poured fuel over themselves and set themselves ablaze. (Reuters)
