B.C. climate activist couple to live in Pakistan if deportation proceeds

Their new neighbors will quickly introduce her to Islam’s quaint cultural norms

VANCOUVER — British Columbia climate activist Zain Haq and his wife Sophia Papp are planning to live together in Pakistan if his threatened deportation proceeds on Saturday, and blame his imminent expulsion on bureaucratic failings by immigration officials.

Haq, a Pakistani citizen who co-founded activist group Save Old Growth as an international student, was granted a temporary resident permit last April, pausing deportation to allow his spousal application for permanent residency to be processed.

We need mass deportations.
