A group of Syrian refugees are distributing a message about the New Year's Eve attacks on women in Cologne, Germany.

The flier is being handed out in different places in Cologne. This one was given to an American man at the cafeteria at the University of Cologne, who shared it on Facebook. Here's what it says:

A local broadcaster identified him as Shady Chaaban, a Syrian refugee whom it said was distributing the leaflets at a train station on Monday.

The leaflet is signed by "Syrian Men for Fairness," run by a man called Shady and with an address listed in Cologne.

Mordecai-Mark Mac Low, who shared the flier on Facebook, said the reaction was mixed.

He saw at least two young men handing out the fliers at the University of Cologne campus, where he was visiting to give a lecture on his research.

Low was heading to a work lunch, and none of his German colleagues talked about the flier directly, but they "have certainly been discussing the issue," Mac Low said. "The general mood among my colleagues is a sort of wary trepidation: there is a great deal of acknowledgment of the plight of the refugees, but also a lot of concern about the practical implications, including very personal stories of low level harassment," Low told BuzzFeed in an email. One of his colleagues told Low that his 14-year-old daughter had been cat-called:"Hey, baby, what's your number?"
