You raise a relevant question - I too wondered if the victim was Pakistani. For some reason, self-immolation, and also killing others by fire, is more common in south Asia. It is also found sometimes with Kurds, Afghans and Iranians, although it is possible among Arabs, it is not much reported.

There was a similar case in Australia, a Pakistani man burnt himself to death outside Parliament House. A dreadful event, witnessed by a group of visiting schoolchildren! The reason, was he was not allowed to bring his family to Australia. He must have gone insane, that is all I can say. What a terrible death.
