English translation of the principle

The reason: the unity of the act of assault committed against the same victim in both offences. Example.
Arabic original
العفو الفردي من المجني عليه في جريمة إحداث إصابة أفضت إلى آلام بدنية شديدة يشمل بطريق اللزوم جريمة التعدي على موظف عام ومقاومته ويرتب ما عليه من آثار. علة ذلك: وحدة فعل الاعتداء الواقع على ذات المجني عليه في الجريمتين. مثال.
