A Japanese man has set himself alight reportedly to protest a state funeral for former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who was assassinated in July.
Hundreds of foreign dignitaries are expected to attend the funeral on 27 September.
Witnesses on Wednesday called police after spotting a man on fire near the prime minister’s office in Tokyo, but officers put out the blaze, and took the still-conscious man to hospital.
The government is yet to comment on the protest.
