Human torch bank protest

A DEMONSTRATOR in Thessaloniki sets himself on fire in a protest at Greek banks


A MAN turns himself into a human torch yesterday in protest at Greek banks.

The demonstrator doused himself in petrol in Thessaloniki after saying he had been ruined by catastrophic debts.

He was taken to hospital with chest burns.

It is the second time the unnamed 55-year-old has set himself on fire over his failed business.

Euro bosses yesterday rejected demands for urgent action to tackle the Greek debt crisis.

Eurozone finance ministers postponed a decision over whether to allow Athens the next instalment of bailout cash.

Chancellor George Osborne urged leaders to send "a clear signal they truly recognise the gravity of the situation".
