The World got to know this man as one of the Syrian refugees, running from the police at the Hungarian-Serbian border near Röszke. Video, where is documented how a Hungarian TV reporter tripped him while he was carrying his little son, became a viral and stirred up strong emotions. Osama Abdul Mohsen is now trying to establish new life in Spain where he was offered haven and job as a coach by a soccer school, and accepted invitation to Jihlava IDFF, where he shared his experience with a situation that has been a topic no. 1 for several months in 2015 in all news and social networks.
