Protesting by self-immolation
- Self-immolation
Description
Representatives of a pressure group sacrifice themselves by fire in as public manner as possible for the sake of dramatically protesting the injustice of a social situation.
Counter-claim
Self-immolation does not offer an alternative to society; at best its intention is a consciousness-raising event for others, which assumes that others will make the changes.
