Saskatoon Woman Accused of 'Adultery' Facing Deportation to Pakistan

Darpan News Desk Darpan, 15 Sep, 2014 04:29 PM
    WINNIPEG - A woman in Saskatoon who fled to Canada from her native Pakistan over accusations of adultery has lost a bid to avoid deportation.
     
    Jamila Bibi, who is 65, has been in Saskatoon since 2007 and has worked as a cook at a local restaurant.
     
    Her refugee claim was denied and a previous attempt to deport her was blocked when her lawyer appealed to the United Nations high commissioner for human rights in Geneva.
     
    Bibi was arrested at a Canadian Border Services Agency office in Saskatoon last week and is set to be escorted back to Pakistan tomorrow.
     
    Her lawyer, Bashir Khan, asked a Federal Court judge to stop the deportation temporarily until her case could be heard, but that request was denied.
