CHONGQING, April 29 (Xinhua) -- A man set himself on fire Wednesday over a
lawsuit in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality, according to the local
publicity authority.
The incident occurred shortly after noon when the man doused himself with
flammable liquid and set himself on fire near the Jiefangbei, a landmark statue.
The fire was later extinguished by police and the man was rushed to
hospital with serious burns.
The 41-year-old man, whose name was not given, is in a stable condition
after emergency treatment, according to the publicity department of the Yuzhong
District, where the incident occurred.
An initial investigation showed he took the action because he was
dissatisfied with the law enforcement process of an economic lawsuit ordered by
Jiangjin District People's Court.
No more information about the incident or the lawsuit is
available.
