Canada clears the way for extradition proceedings against the chief financial officer of Huawei, who faces charges in the US
A member of a private security firm stands outside of the family home of Huawei's financial chief Meng Wanzhou, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, on January 26, 2019.
Meng Wanzhou was arrested in Vancouver last December and is currently under house arrest. She will appear in a Vancouver court at 10 a.m. Pacific time on March 6, when a date will be set for her extradition hearing. China, whose relations with Canada have deteriorated badly over the affair, denounced the decision and repeated previous demands for Meng's release.
It could be years though before Meng is ever sent to the United States, since Canada's slow-moving justice system allows many decisions to be appealed."Our client maintains that she is innocent of any wrongdoing and that the US prosecution and extradition constitutes an abuse of the processes of law," they said in a statement.
