Morphine Prince 109,691 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 (CNN)Lassana Bathily risked his own life to help save others, a Muslim who protected Jews in the face of an armed terrorist. Now the French government is helping out Bathily -- by making him a citizen. The Malian native's citizenship application, which he filed in July 2014, will be expedited, Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve announced on Thursday. Cazeneuve will conduct Bathily's citizenship ceremony himself on January 20. This event will add to what has been an emotional few weeks for Bathily, starting with his heroic actions last Friday, after a gunman burst in while he was working at the kosher Hyper Cacher grocery store, near Paris' Porte de Vincennes.
