In yet another demonstration of protest against China in this free-for-all protest-happy Olympic Torch relay, a Korean man unsuccessfully tried to set himself on fire. This time it was not over the Tibetan issue but over a lesser known issue - that of the treatment of North Korean refugees in China. When caught, many are returned to North Korea where they face imprisonment.

The would-be immolator was a North Korean defector.
