Overall: Hook is interesting and well sourced - I have added a link to refugee. I think this is good to go, hold off until August 23/24 if possible for opening of Paralympics.

Current version of article mentions that the subject of the article contracted smallpox. However, there have been no cases of smallpox since 1978 (see main smallpox article for additional sources). Presumably subject suffered from a different illness - could this be a translation issue?
