Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou and her lawyers approach court to try to have her extradition case thrown out, arguing that her rights were violated
Huawei Technologies Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou returns from a lunch break during a hearing at British Columbia supreme court in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada September 23, 2019.
The US wants to put Meng on trial for fraud for allegedly violating Iran sanctions and lying about it to US banks -- accusations her lawyers dispute. Evidence from both hearings could be used to argue a violation of process and, if successful, put pressure on the attorney general to reconsider a decision to proceed with the extradition.
They questioned her for three hours without advising her of her rights, he said, before eventually handing her over to federal police. "The RCMP stood by and let CBSA examine Ms Meng without advising her of the true nature of why she was detained," Peck said, adding that the CBSA secured her laptop, iPad, USB keys and mobile phone "to give to the RCMP and, eventually, in theory to give to the FBI.""There is no evidence that lends an air of reality to these allegations," prosecutors said in newly-released court filings.
China has also blocked billions worth of Canadian agricultural shipments, while Canada has rallied the support of allies including Britain, France, Germany and the US, as well as the EU, NATO and the G7.
