+Musa Mamut (1931–1978) was a [Crimean Tatar](/wiki/Crimean_Tatar) activist and a symbol of resistance against injustice under the [Soviet Union](/wiki/Soviet_Union). In 1978, he self-immolated in protest against the persecution of his people.
+Following the 1944 [Crimean Tatar Deportation](/wiki/Crimean_Tatar_Deportation), Soviet authorities banned Crimean Tatars from returning to their ancestral homeland in [Crimea](/wiki/Crimea). Despite these prohibitions, Mamut and his wife, Zekiye, repeatedly attempted to return and build a home. They were denied residence permits and subsequently arrested and jailed multiple times by Soviet authorities for "illegal settlement" and "violation of passport regulations."
+On 20 July 1978, facing imminent forced eviction and further punishment for attempting to live on his own land, Musa Mamut poured gasoline on himself and self-immolated. He died five days later. His desperate act was a powerful protest against the systemic discrimination and served as a call for human dignity and the national rights of the [Crimean Tatar Movement](/wiki/Crimean_Tatar_Movement).
