Are you sure that 'because they were hoping he would die', is not a conceivable answer?

CatPurry9 To everyone that replied to the original story.We don’t know the circumstances why he set himself on fire The hate you have against these people is outrageous. You forget this was the lucky country once .When Abbott came in we became some What racist when the asylum boats came

AmandaPerram Did you know his family in Iran was charged $13,000 by Australia Dutton to get his body back? And his wife watched him screaming and roaming the Nauru hospital without pain treatment for hours? Utter cruelty. I will never forget. auspol

Setting yourself on fire to get into Australia?...wow!, really the types we want here 🙄

Why did he set himself on fire?!

Send them back to where they come from they are not welcome here

Care factor zero

MSMWatchdog2013 Let’s just say that the government is hoping the remaining ppl on Manus and Nauru will just die out. Morrison won’t let them go to NZ, it’s all pretty clear then. Isn’t it?

Dutton denied urgent medical treatment to this critically injured gentleman for more than 24 hours, effectively torturing him to death...

He wasn't only endangering himself he is endangering others, while prisoners in Australia get nothing refugees get cigarettes you name it they got it. While the refugees are sitting on there asses getting benefits Australians have to work for the dole.

Hey that might work if you need treatment in emergency instead of waiting 12 hours.

catherinemaths That’s a big shame,we won’t forget those days

He did it who cares 🤬🤬

So these are the type of ppl AUS wants in?! This is an epic owngoal Stories like this just fan the flames. Lucky for him Christmas Island has been fired up again auspol nauru manus

Sets himself on fire..........Australia's fault!

Why’d he do that ?

Pffft self harmers shouldn't get anything
