Quảng Đức was protesting the persecution of Buddhists by the South Vietnamese government led by Ngô Đình Diệm . Photographs of his self - immolation were circulated widely across the world and brought attention to the policies of the Diệm government . John F. Kennedy said in reference to a photograph of Đức on fire, "No news picture in history has generated so much emotion around the world as that one ." Malcolm Browne won a Pulitzer Prize for his photograph of the monk's death . </P> <P> Quảng Đức's act increased international pressure on Diệm and led him to announce reforms with the intention of mollifying the Buddhists . However, the promised reforms were not implemented, leading to a deterioration in the dispute . With protests continuing, the ARVN Special Forces loyal to Diệm's brother, Ngô Đình Nhu, launched nationwide raids on Buddhist pagodas, seizing Quảng Đức's heart and causing deaths and widespread damage . Several Buddhist monks followed Quảng Đức's example, also immolating themselves . Eventually, a U.S. - backed Army coup toppled Diệm, who was assassinated on 2 November 1963 . </P>
