Al-Jazeera Video: Moroccans burn selves in unemployment protest



"Five Moroccan protesters set themselves on fire on Thursday in Rabat during a protest over the country's high unemployment rate, which has hit young people and college graduates particularly hard.

Three of the protesters had to be hospitalized, two with serious burns. They had been occupying a government building and reportedly vowed to set themselves on fire if authorities continued to block supporters from bringing food and water."
