Younes Asakereh

The 34-year-old father of two set himself on fire to protest his treatment by city officials. According to IRNA, city officials had refused to respond to his efforts to reclaim his gear.

While Khorramshahr city officials expressed regret over the incident, they failed to take any responsibility for it and merely urged the public to report to supervisors any lack of prompt service at city offices.

Younes Asakereh also triggered some unrest between the Arab community in Khuzestan and the police.
