Farman Ali Khan
He was a 32 year old Martial Arts Champion living as an migrant worker in a Saudi's Grocery store.His home was in a poor village in Swat.Farman Ali Khan saved 14 people from drowning. His neighbor told reporters that Farman gave him his wallet and cell phone for safekeeping. He then tied one end of a rope to a pipe and the other around his waist and stood at the edge of the heart of the flooding looking for people to pull out. Those he couldn’t reach swimming and wading, he would reach to them with a wood pole. He kept going back until the water got the better of him and he went under.
Farman is survived by his widow Parween, 29, their three daughters (Zubaidah, 7, Madiha, 5, and Jarirah, 2), his aged father, four brothers and five sisters.
And now there is a huge campaign on Facebook with over 22,000 members, the majority of whom are Saudi. They are campaigning for a Jeddah street to be named after Farman, that he be rewarded with the King Abdulazziz Medal and that his family be compensated financially.
May ALLAH bless him with Heaven ! Amen
