A woman doused her body with gasoline and set herself ablaze in a busy Istanbul square Sunday to protest Turkey’s maximum-security prison system, the Anatolia news agency reported.
Passersby rushed to put out the flames and the 26-year-old survived, the agency reported. There was no immediate information on her condition.
The woman reportedly served time in prison for being a member of the banned Revolutionary People’s Liberation Party-Front, a Marxist group.
