He set himself on fire in front of the police station, a tragic end for the Tunisian footballer

The Tunisian footballer, Nizar Issaoui, died this Friday as a result of third degree burns suffered after he set himself on fire in front of the police station as a sign of protest because he was accused of terrorism.

"Because of a fight with a person who sells bananas for 10 dinars, I go to the police station and they interrogate me for terrorism," he explained in a video posted on social networks a few seconds before the act.

The 35-year-old, former player of the Union Sportif team in the first division, was the father of four children. His body was transferred this Friday from the capital's main crematorium to his hometown of Haffouz, where many neighbors waited to bid him a final farewell.

Security forces used tear gas to disperse dozens of residents who demonstrated in front of the police station over Issaoui's death, forcing businesses in the area to close.
