DeirEzzor24 exclusive report
Yesterday, German officials, headed by the Minister of the Interior of the State of Bayern in the German city of Munich, honored a young man from Deir Ezzor Governorate and awarded him the Bravery Medal, for an act that sums up the good morals that most of the people of Deir Ezzor possess, represented by saving a woman who was being assaulted and beaten by a person in one of the streets of the city of Augsburg, two years ago.
DeirEzzor24 network met the young man “Mohammed” and the following conversation took place:
My name is “Mohammed Al-Hassan” from the town of Al-Mari’iyah in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor. I received the Bravery Medal yesterday in the German state of Bavaria because of a story that happened to me two years ago that I will tell you.
“The story took place nearly two years ago, when a friend of mine was driving me home in his car in the evening, and we saw a strange movement in the street, and when we turned the light towards the source of the movement, a terrified woman was heading towards us, and when she got closer to me, I saw her face bloody and her clothes torn, and she had been violently beaten by two people who were chasing her, then I decided to help her and stand up to the criminals”
He added “When the criminals saw the woman had reached us, they preferred to run away, but I immediately followed them and caught one of them, after he tried to hit me with a sharp object, and at that time my friend was calming the woman down and trying to provide her with first aid and called the police who arrived at the site minutes later, my friend and I testified and the police thanked us and we left”
“A few days ago, I received an invitation from officials in the state of Bavaria to honor me, along with 31 other people, with medals of honor, for similar actions they had taken in previous years, and the honor was attended by officials from the state, deputies and the police chief And representatives of the church and legal figures.”
He concluded his speech by saying, “I came to Germany 9 years ago, where I studied and worked, and I am now preparing to study civil engineering. I want to say that even if the place has changed, the chivalry and generosity that we were raised on compel us to help the distressed and support the oppressed, regardless of their nationality.
