A Saskatoon woman who is scheduled to be deported Tuesday may be stoned to death once she’s back in her native Pakistan, her lawyer and friends say.

Jamila Bibi, 65, fled to Canada in 2007 after she was falsely accused of adultery in Pakistan, according to her lawyer, Bashir Khan. He said she will be a target for honour killing if she is forced to return.

Bibi’s deportation was originally ordered in 2012, after her bid to secure refugee status in Canada was rejected. She filed a complaint with the United Nations high commissioner for human rights and her lawyer believed that Ottawa would not deport her until the UN reviewed her case.

However, Bibi was recently detained and ordered to leave the country. A Federal Court of Canada judge rejected Monday an application to stay Bibi’s deportation. Her removal from the country has been set for Tuesday, unless the federal public safety minister intervenes.

Melissa Anderson, a spokesperson for the Immigration Refugee Board of Canada, told CTV Saskatoon that Bibi was detained because Canada Border Services Agency “felt she was unlikely to appear for her scheduled removal from Canada.”

Khan said Bibi’s case is “shocking” and “disturbing.”

Bibi has been working at a small Saskatoon restaurant for the past six months. Her boss and friend, Sahana Yeasmin, told CTV that Bibi’s “situation back home is very bad.”

“She’s going to be killed by other people,” she said.

Along with Bibi’s friends and supporters in Saskatoon, Amnesty International is also urging the Canadian government to reconsider the deportation.

“There’s no way that Canada would want to be responsible for returning a woman back to a country where her rights could be violated,” said Gloria Nafziger, an Amnesty International refugee co-ordinator.

“It makes it harder for Canada to be an advocate for human rights if it is found to be failing itself.”
