Sebastien Nouchet was burned alive in homophobic attack
On January 16, in the north of France, Sebastien Nouchet, was attacked in his garden by several assailants who had harassed him and his partner for years. This time, however, they doused him with gasoline and turned him into a human torch. Nouchet, 35, was hospitalized in Belgium where he fell into a coma for several months. It's remarkable he pulled through - with severe scars to the face and hands. Now he's helping police track down his assailants, resulting in one arrest so far. French President Jacques Chirac expressed his "deep indignation" of the incident. We've included a moving interview in French with Nouchet as well.
