King, Queen, in phone call, check on Jordanian man, his sister who were attacked in France
AMMONNEWS - His Majesty King Abdullah and Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah on Sunday, in a phone call, checked on a young Jordanian man and his sister, residing in France, who were victims of an 'irresponsible' attack.
The victim called Muhammad Abu Eid, is French government secondee to work as a teacher at a public school for the Arabic language in the city of Lille, and his sister Heba Abu Eid is also a scholarship awardee from the French embassy in Amman and the French government to acquire a master's degree in international tourism management in France, Heba told the Jordan News Agency (Petra) Sunday evening.
Heba talked about details of the attack on her and her brother during the latter's visit to her in the French city of Angers, where she is studying, and said that a man and a French woman attacked her and her brother 'just because they were speaking in Arabic.'
She added that the French woman and man chased her and her brother and beat them inside the university dormitory where she resides, explaining that that the recent events following the republication of blasphemous cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, God's blessings and peace be upon him, is likely the reason behind the attack.
Heba noted that her brother and she were able to escape from the attackers, and informed the police, which in turn initiated an investigation into the incident, followed up on their case after providing first aid in a nearby hospital and obtained a medical report of their health condition.
She stated that the Jordanian embassy staff in Paris, headed by Ambassador Makram Qaisi, responded very quickly to the incident, and are following up on its repercussions with the French authorities, pointing out that a delegation from the embassy visited them in the city of Angers.
Heba described as 'very nice surprise' the royal call, which contributed to mitigating the psychological impact her brother and she suffered due to the attack.
