In Germany, an Iranian pushed a Ukrainian refugee from Mariupol under a train.

A tragedy occurred in Germany: underage Ukrainian Liana died as a result of an attack by Iraqi migrant Muhammad A. Details of the incident became known as a result of the investigation. It happened on August 11 at the station in Friedland, located in Lower Saxony. The information was confirmed by the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The 16-year-old girl was on the platform when the suspect approached her and pushed her under a passing freight train. Liana died at the scene from her injuries. At the time of the incident, she was talking on the phone with her grandfather, who heard her scream before the connection was lost.

As it turned out, the police initially considered the situation an accident. However, evidence soon emerged indicating a criminal aspect to the case. DNA analysis revealed traces on the victim’s shoulder matching Muhammad’s samples. This finding can be interpreted as confirmation that he used force.

The suspect was soon detained and charged with involuntary manslaughter. His blood contained 1.35 per mille of alcohol. Currently, Muhammad A. is in a psychiatric clinic, where he was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.

The prosecutor’s office does not yet have information about possible connections between the suspect and the victim. Muhammad himself prefers not to comment on the charges.

Liana fled from Mariupol to Germany with her family after the start of Russian aggression in 2022. She was studying to be a dental assistant, and the local community organized a fundraiser for her funeral, managing to collect more than 24,000 euros. The girl’s parents do not believe in the accident version and have sought support from political and public organizations. Lower Saxony’s Interior Minister Daniela Behrens emphasizes the importance of a detailed investigation but urges avoiding politicization of the tragedy.

Muhammad A. applied for asylum in Germany in 2022 but was denied. He was offered to return to Lithuania, the country through which he entered the EU, but he remained in Germany. In July 2025, the migration service planned his detention for deportation, but a court in Hanover rejected the request due to errors in the documentation. The errors remain uncorrected despite the time given for their correction.

Some time later, he again ended up in the asylum seekers’ center in Friedland. Experts are now examining his mental health and determining whether he could be considered sane at the time of the crime. Minister Behrens noted that this case raises important questions about the implementation of migration legislation, especially in the context of the Dublin Agreement, according to which responsibility should lie with the country of first entry into the EU, that is, Lithuania.
