A Japanese man has set himself alight reportedly to protest a state funeral for ex-Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who was assassinated in July.
Hundreds of foreign dignitaries are expected to attend the funeral on the 27th of September.
On Wednesday, witnesses called police after spotting a man on fire near the prime minister’s office in Tokyo.
Officers put out the blaze, and took the still-conscious man to the hospital.
The extent of his injuries and his current condition is unknown.
