""I was completely shocked and devastated. I was kidnapped in Syria and fled through several countries. I would never have imagined that my asylum application would be rejected.""
""This is my country. I speak the language. I want to stay. Two years ago, Germany gave me a roof over my head and supported me. I have great respect for that and want to give something back to the country.""
""There is a shortage of dental professionals in Germany," she said. "We want to double the number of signatures for the petition to stop his deportation.""
Basel Gawish, a Syrian dentist, received a rejection letter for his asylum application, requiring him to leave Germany within 30 days. He expressed shock and devastation, having fled Syria after being kidnapped. Gawish has integrated well, speaking near-perfect German and working as a dental trainee. He volunteers as a translator and wishes to give back to Germany, which he considers his country. A citizens' initiative, 'Grannies Against the Right,' is advocating for him, collecting signatures to prevent his deportation due to a shortage of dental professionals in Germany.
