Tunisian street vendor Mohammed Bouazizi lit himself on fire in protest.

He was unable to find work, so he became a street vendor who sold incense (jasmine). His business was shut down and belongings confiscated by a police woman. His act of protest set of a chain reaction of political riots in Tunisia.
