Self-immolation has a long history as political protest. The one that came to mind immediately when I heard about this was Jan Palach, who set himself on fire in Wenceslaus Square in Prague to protest the Russian invasion that ended the Prague Spring. He is celebrated as a hero. https://twitter.com/leahmcelrath/status/1518287692529868805
