Israeli protester dies a week after self-immolation

An Israeli protester, who set himself on fire during a demonstration against social injustice and cost of living in Israel, has died of his wounds.

According to Zionist Israeli media, Moshe Silman, who suffered second- and third-degree burns on 94 percent of his body, died on Friday, six days after his self-immolation.

Silman set himself on fire on Saturday during a demonstration to mark the first anniversary of the social justice protests that swept Israel last year.
