Federal Court of Canada and Jamila Bibi

Jamila Bibi: 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, according to CTV. However, Bibi was recently detained and ordered to leave the country. A Federal Court of Canada judge rejected Monday an application to stay Bibis deportation. Her removal from the country has been set for Tuesday, unless the federal public safety minister intervenes and A Saskatoon woman who is scheduled to be deported Tuesday may be stoned to death once shes back in her native Pakistan, her lawyer and friends say. Bibis 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. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
