Prime Minister Justin Trudeau urged to step in to end the extradition trial of Chinese Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou
Former Canadian lawmakers and diplomats on Wednesday urged Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step in to end the extradition trial of Chinese Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou, a move they said could prompt Beijing to free two detained Canadians.
Meng is wanted in the US for alleged fraud involving the Chinese tech giant's use of a covert subsidiary to sell to Iran in breach of US sanctions. The two were detained by Beijing in December 2018, nine days after Meng's arrest during a stopover in Vancouver."The two Michaels were taken in direct retaliation for the arrest in Canada of Meng Wanzhou," the letter says.
"We contend that the time is past due for the minister to... end the Meng extradition proceeding and to bring the two Michaels home."The letter was signed by former Supreme Court justice Louise Arbour, ex-foreign ministers Lloyd Axworthy and Lawrence Cannon, and former attorney general Allan Rock, among others.
