Ryszard Siwiec
[edit]- ... that Ryszard Siwiec, protesting the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia, was the first political protester to commit suicide by self-immolation in Central and Eastern Europe?

5x expanded by Piotrus (talk). Self nominated at 02:54, 10 September 2013 (UTC).
Interesting article. Hook and everything else well supported with inline citations. Expanded from 1,930 characters (295 words) "readable prose size" to 9,415 characters (1491 words) "readable prose size", at present: 235 characters short of 5x expansion according to DYK eligibility scan results, which is not a problem at all, and can easily be fixed. Good to go. Thanks, Poeticbent talk 04:25, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
