A woman sets herself on fire outside an office of the French Interior Ministry during a protest in Paris on June 18, 2003 against a mass round-up of left-wing Iranian exiles the previous day. Marzieh Babakhani was badly burned and rushed to a hospital after dashing out from a crowd of over 100 protesters and setting light to herself.
Update: Marzieh Babakhani has died of her injuries at the hospital.
