MY BROTHER MOHAMMED BOUAZIZI
To many people in Tunisia, Mohammed Bouazizi has become both a martyr and a symbol of the fight for freedom. Mohammed was a 26-year-old fruit and vegetable seller who set himself on fire after the police confiscated his vegetable cart. He died nineteen days later in hospital and his death was seen as a catalyst for the protests over unemployment and poverty that eventually led to the resignation and exile of the country's President. Mohammed's younger sister, Samia, she tells Matthew what her brother was going through and how his death has affected so many people.
