Female Protesters in ExileFriday 1 March 2002
It's been just over three years since a 14 year old Kurdish girl doused herself in petrol and set herself on fire at a public protest in London. The faces of the London policemen who smothered the blaze were awestruck. The reaction of the British public was equally confounded.

Martha Kearney meets two young women, both first generation British and both of whom are emotionally and politically involved in campaigns concerning their native countries. She asks what inspires them and would they ever consider such a drastic form of protest?
