Chinese court holds an appeal hearing for a Canadian who was sentenced to death for drug smuggling in a case that has deepened a diplomatic rift, yananw writes.
FILE - In this file image taken from Jan. 14, 2019, video footage run by China's CCTV, Canadian Robert Lloyd Schellenberg attends his retrial at the Dalian Intermediate People's Court in Dalian, northeastern China's Liaoning province. A Chinese court has held an appeal hearing Thursday, May 9, 2019, for the Canadian who was sentenced to death for drug smuggling. No decision was immediately announced after the hearing.
Convicted of playing a central role in a methamphetamine smuggling operation, Schellenberg was initially sentenced to 15 years in November, only to be handed the death sentence at a hastily-scheduled January retrial. Canadian Embassy officials were notified and Schellenberg’s litigation rights were lawfully protected during Thursday’s proceedings, the court added.
