In A Coruña, Spain, Ibrahima Diack and Magatte N'Diaye were posthumously recognized as "adopted sons of the city" for their courageous intervention during a homophobic attack on Samuel Luiz, a 24-year-old nursing assistant. In July 2021, Luiz suffered fatal injuries as he was beaten by a mob after a homophobic slur was directed at him. Despite significant personal risk, Diack and N'Diaye attempted to assist Luiz, prompting Mayor Inés Rey to commend their 'pure altruism' at the recognition ceremony, where she noted the implications of their actions on societal attitudes towards oppressed individuals.
"That two undocumented migrants were the only ones who physically risked themselves to help the victim of a pack thirsting for horror leaves much food for thought and a series of lessons."
"Ibrahima e Magatte, altruismo puro, contan co agradecemento eterno da Coruña, ficando xa na súa historia."
