Summary
On December 17, 2010, Mohamed Bouazizi was operating a fruit stand in a large market in Tunisia. At ten o’clock in the morning he watched as local inspectors took his digital scale and several crates of apples and bananas. The seizure was his price for refusing to concede to their bribery demands.1 An hour later, Mr. Bouazizi set himself on fire in front of a public administration building. He died two weeks later.
