Kambiz Roustayi a 36 year old Iranian citizen set himself on fire on the steps of the National Monument for the victims of World War II on the Dam Square in Amsterdam last wednesday April 6. He died one day later in the hospital because of the wounds of his self-immolation. Kambiz Roustayi was a non-recognized political refugee, who had recently been refused again legal status in the Netherlands. Today a ceremony will be held by migration and refugee organizations on the spot where he performed his desperate deed. Bystanders rushed to the man and tried to extinguish the flames by beating their coats on the violent flames. On May fourth there will be once again the commemoration of those who fell in The War with all the state pomp that goes with it… The ashes of this Iranian will have been swept away, but a stain on the national Dutch conscience will remain…
