“They took everything from me, they took everything away from me.

In France, the only person to have the status of protected witness speaks about this difficult daily life.

This status was granted to him after having testified and denounced Abdelhamid Abaaoud, terrorist of the terraces and Bataclan attacks on November 13, 2015. For his safety, the authorities gave him a new identity.

“My life is unlike anything, it's a life of lies,” she confides.

Her family members are the only relatives who know her true identity, even though she was unable to keep their photos.

Despite this difficult life, this witness does not regret his gesture: “I would not hesitate to do it again.

I think life is priceless.

I sacrificed my integrity, my personality, my personal life, but at the cost of the life of a human being.

If there is even one human being you can save, it must be done.
