Tunisia Arab Spring Self Immolation

Hosni Kalaia, 49, displays a photo on Friday, Dec. 11, 2020, that shows his younger brother, Sabre, who died after setting himself ablaze in 2015, in Kasserine, Tunisia. On Jan. 7, 2011, Hosni Kalaia survived after dousing himself in gasoline and set himself on fire. “I would never describe the act of self-immolation as an act of courage because even the bravest person in the world couldn’t do it,” he said.
