Plamen Goranov ((ブルガリア語:Пламен Горанов)) (20 October 1976 – 3 March 2013) was a Bulgarian photographer and mountain climber, and a Varna-based local protest leader of the 2013 Bulgarian nationwide protests. He became a symbol of the Bulgarian social protest movement and a catalyst for nationwide protests and government resignations when on 20 February 2013 he set himself on fire in front of the Varna municipal building. He died from his injuries in a local hospital on 3 March, Bulgarian Liberation Day, a Bulgarian national holiday celebrating liberation from five centuries of Ottoman rule.〔(2013/03/04, Bulgarian anti-corruption protester dies after setting himself on fire )〕 Goranov protested against the organized crime group TIM and the TIM-controlled Varna mayor Kiril Yordanov.〔http://www.novinite.com/view_news.php?id=148386〕 After setting himself on fire, Goranov became the subject of discussions and received active support on social networks.〔 Approximately 300 people donated blood for transfusion while he was in hospital.〔(vesti.bg, 04.03.2013, Почина самозапалилият се Пламен Горанов )〕 On the day of his death, people in Sofia and Varna gathered to pay their respects to Goranov.〔(2013/03/03, Photo Gallery – A flame for Plamen (Bulgarian: Огънче за Пламен )〕 Goranov was the first of six Bulgarians who set themselves on fire during the Bulgarian nationwide protest.〔(dnevnik.bg, 13.03.2013, Man set himself on fire in front of the president's building (Bulgarian – Мъж се самозапали пред президентството) )〕 ==Death== According to the official report by the prosecution,〔http://www.dnevnik.bg/izbori2013/2013/03/04/2015203_varnenskata_prokuratura_kategorichno_plamen_goranov_se/ the Varna city Prosecution – Plamen Goranov set himself on fire and was not a victim of homicide(in Bulgarian – Варненската прокуратура: Категорично Пламен Горанов се е самозапалил, Dnevnik, 2013/03/04,〕 on the morning of 20 February 2013, Goranov arrived in front of the Varna municipal building a little before 7:30 carrying a backpack, a poster, and two bottles of gasoline. Recordings of nearby security cameras show him putting the two bottles down, taking out a white sheet, and laying the sheet on the ground. He then proceeded to pour the contents of one of the bottles over himself, which attracted the attention of a municipal officer who came out to investigate. Goranov informed the officer that he would set himself on fire, after which the officer went back in the building and came back shortly with a second officer. At that point Goranov lit himself on fire. The two officers went back into the building again and eventually returned with fire extinguishers,〔 but at that point Goranov had already endured burn injuries to 80 percent of his body. According to witnesses, while Goranov was on fire, he was saying "Kiro, Kiro, today I was supposed to be in Antalya" (note Kiro being short for Kiril, reference to Kiril Yordanov, the then mayor of Varna Municipality). At some point, an official from the municipality took away the poster brought by Goranov. After testimonials of witnesses and the fact that the poster was missing becoming public, the official handed in the poster to the local police. No charges were pressed against him. On the way to the hospital, Goranov said that he didn't want to kill himself.〔http://dariknews.bg/view_article.php?article_id=1050508 Counting the vultures (Bulgarian – Преброяване на лешоядите), dariknews, 2013/03/06〕 Goranov died on 3 March 2013. Two days later Varna Mayor Yordanov resigned. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Plamen Goranov」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
