Asif Khan Khalil: Khalil

Native Country Dept: Asif Khan Khalil, 20, could be sent back to his native country on Sunday unless his lawyer can get an emergency reprieve, according to CBC. "I can't even show how worried I am right now," says Khalil. "If they send me back to Pakistan, they're going to kill me." A squash star who fled to Canada to escape the Taliban in Pakistan is facing deportation and fears for his life. Khalil, who claimed refugee status in Winnipeg in August 2010, says his success with a Western sport is seen as a violation of Islam by the fundamentalist Taliban, especially in his home city of Peshawar, which borders Afghanistan.
