Issa Al Hasan, a Syrian man, pleaded guilty to a stabbing attack at a German summer festival that resulted in three deaths and ten injuries. Admitting to the crime at his trial in Düsseldorf, Hasan described the attack as a 'grave crime' motivated by a desire for revenge against 'nonbelievers' he viewed as representatives of Western society's military actions. This incident incited a heated immigration debate in Germany, particularly regarding the authorities' failure to deport Hasan, an asylum seeker slated for removal.
Hasan admitted to committing a grave crime, noting that three people died at his hands and others were seriously injured, highlighting the dire consequences of the attack.
Prosecutors assert that Hasan targeted festival attendees as 'nonbelievers' and sought revenge against Western society for military actions against Muslims.
