- Description
- Text transcribed from caption: #29884 MONK BURNS SELF TO DEATH An aged Buddhist monk, the Rev. Quang Duc, burns to death before spectators at Saigon, Vietnam, June 11, 1963, to protest alleged persecution of Buddhists by President Ngo Dinh Diem’s government. As other monks lay in front of nearby fire trucks to prevent their moving, the monk set fire to his gasoline-soaked robes and sat while flames engulfed him.
