Asylum seeker dies of burns in Australia

A 23-year-old Iranian asylum seeker who set himself on fire at Australia’s detention centre on the island of Nauru has died.

Australia’s immigration department confirmed the man died at Brisbane hospital on Friday.

His actions were a “political protest”, according to the Nauruan government.

Australia sends asylum seekers it intercepts for processing at offshore locations, including Nauru, a small Pacific Island nation.
