As Jamila Bibi embraced friend Sahana Yeasmin she was whisked away by two Canadian Border Services Agency officers early Tuesday morning at the Saskatoon airport, set for deportation to her native Pakistan.

Bibi’s lawyer, Bashir Khan, said his client could be stoned to death if sent back because of adultery accusations against her.

With fresh tears in her eyes, Bibi sobbed as she and Yeasmin had a final word together. CBSA officers checked their baggage with West Jet, while the two shaken women said their final goodbyes to each other.

After 15 minutes, CBSA officers took Bibi to the security screening area. After passing through security, she boarded flight WS320 bound for Toronto. The plane took off just before 5:30 on a brisk, cool morning.

Although Bibi did not speak with media, she told Yeasmin to speak on her behalf.

“Right now, I want to say to the minister of public safety, Steven Blaney, and request to the government to stop her deportation,” she pleaded.
