Samuel Mena Jr., a former journalist from Arizona, attempted self-immolation during a pro-Palestinian protest near the White House, resulting in non-life-threatening injuries. The incident occurred amidst demonstrations marking the one-year anniversary of the October 7 Hamas-Israel conflict, with protestors demanding a ceasefire and an end to U.S. military aid to Israel. Mena, who expressed discontent over media misinformation in his writings, set his left arm on fire before bystanders and police intervened. The act was symbolic, reflecting his solidarity with affected Palestinians, particularly children who have suffered in the conflict. The self-immolation attempt was part of larger protests across U.S. cities, highlighting the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The Metropolitan Police Department emphasized their support for peaceful protests while condemning criminal acts.
