Amir Mohammadi: Body

Vietnam Dept: THE body of a Winnipeg trucker who died in a crash Jan. 11 remains in a Kenora funeral home while his widow in Vietnam tries to get into Canada, according to Winnipeg Free Press. Meanwhile, the body of Amir Mohammadi has been denied religious burial rites and desecrated, say Muslim friends in Winnipeg. They were shocked to learn the Kurdish Canadian was killed in a highway accident east of Kenora last month. They were shocked again when they set about planning his burial and discovered his body was claimed by a woman he wed in Vietnam last year and amir Mohammadi "She applied to the Canadian Consulate for a visitor's visa in order to come to Canada to see her husband for the last time," said Victor Libitka, the woman's lawyer.
