Video Of Moroccan Protestors Setting Themselves On Fire Emerges

We reported earlier today on the protests currently happening in Morocco. Protestors are dissatisfied at the lack of jobs in the country, particularly for university graduates – resorting to self-immolation. Associated Press has now procured a cellphone video that has captured the entire thing – from dousing themselves to catching fire. Full video after the jump.

The video shows the five protestors standing at the foot of the parliament buildings, dousing themselves. Supporters have left some bread for them, and they are seen jumping down from the wall. When armed riot police run up to try and stop or arrest them, at least two of the men are seen catching fire.

Get our full report on what is happening here.
