In a harrowing incident, a Jordanian student attending a German university was shot and killed two days ago, raising suspicions of a hate-driven crime with potential nationalistic motives.

 

The chilling event unfolded after the student posted a solidarity message for Gaza on Facebook, leading preliminary investigations to suggest that fellow students deliberately lured him to a predetermined location. It was there that one of them allegedly fired two fatal shots at the student's head.

 

Dr. Sufian Al-Qudah, Director of Operations and Consular Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, confirmed that the ministry is actively monitoring the tragic incident involving the death of a Jordanian citizen in Hamburg, Germany.

 

Al-Qudah revealed that the Directorate of Operations and Consular Affairs, in collaboration with the Jordanian Embassy in Berlin, is in close coordination with German authorities for a thorough investigation into the unfolding circumstances.


 The Jordanian Embassy in Berlin has commenced official procedures to repatriate the deceased's body to Jordan, working closely with the grieving family during this challenging time.

Ambassador Al-Qudah conveyed heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family, praying for the departed soul's peace and acceptance and seeking strength and comfort for the family in the face of this profound loss.

Additionally, Ambassador Al-Qudah assured that no Jordanian citizens were among the victims of the recent armed attack at a university in Prague, Czech Republic, which resulted in 14 fatalities and 25 injuries on Thursday.
