Chinese court rejects a Canadian drug convict’s appeal of a death sentence in what appeared to be an effort to step up pressure on Canada to release a detained executive of tech giant Huawei.
A Canadian judge will hear final arguments in the next few weeks over whether Meng should be extradited. She has been living under house arrest in Vancouver.
The United States wants Meng Wanzhou to be extradited to face charges she lied to banks in Hong Kong.The United States and other governments have warned their citizens of a “heightened risk of arbitrary detention” in China for purposes other than law enforcement.Asked when a ruling in Spavor’s case might come, Barton said, “our sense is, it’s tomorrow.” As for Kovrig, the ambassador said, “we have not received any indication of that.
The ambassador said Canadian diplomats talked with Schellenberg after the ruling but declined to give details.“He is remarkably composed,” Barton said. “We had a good conversation.” Two other Canadians, Fan Wei and Xu Weihong, also were sentenced to death on drug charges in separate cases in 2019 as relations between Beijing and Ottawa deteriorated.
