A woman sets herself on fire in Paris, June 18, 2003, outside an office of the French Interior Ministry, during a protest against a mass round-up of left-wing Iranian exiles the previous day, including opposition leader Maryam Rajavi. Marzieh Babakhani was badly burned and rushed to hospital after dashing out from a crowd of over 100 protesters and setting light to herself, according to an official of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) which opposes the Islamic government in Tehran.
