Philip Hunter Dept: Canadian army medic Philip Hunter described interpreter Sayed Shah Sharifi as a brilliant and brave friend who showed enough courage under fire to win a medal if he d been a Canadian soldier, according to The Star. Sharifi s first application was stalled because Canadian immigration officials demanded more evidence his life was at risk. Perhaps these immigration officials should walk the streets of Kandahar themselves to get a first-hand sense of the constant danger he faces and re: Army interpreter who risked life for soldiers granted entry, July 11 But apparently the brave contribution of 23-year-old Sharifi, the interpreter who worked side-by-side with Canadian soldiers providing critical service in the depth of the war zone, is not enough to expedite an immigration transfer to Canada. As
reported in the news.
