NOT A CHANCE
paper probably stuck with pva based wall paper adhesive so tile adhesive will probably reactivate it then you will have over 20Kg/M2 of tiles and adhesive hanging off it!!!!
Not a good move. Tell your friend to remove it because if you tile it its an expensive way of stripping the walls and preparing them to be tiled properly

Re: tiling over backing paper.
Andy, one of my first tilng jobs was to tile a kitchen that the customer had only painted about 1 week before I was to tile it. The customer told me it was ok to tile onto paint. I got a wet sponge and held it to the wall for about 90 seconds. The fresh paint turned back into soggy wet paint. Just imagine if I had tiled onto this surface. i.e. adhesive is wet.......and tiles are heavy. I spent a day sanding the paint off. The same would apply to backing paper. Cheers Sean
