Canadian jailed on spying charges linked to Chinese tech giant
Canadian man, Michael Spavor has been jailed by a Chinese court on spying charges in case linked to Huawei
The court found the Canadian businessman guilty on spying charges. He will spend 11 years behind bars.
He was detained in 2018 in an apparent retaliation for Canada’s arrest of a Huawei executive on a US extradition warrant.
Canadian diplomats were barred from entering the trial earlier this year.
Canada’s Ambassador to China was at the Dan-dong Detention Centre as the verdict was handed down.
Canada has said the detentions are linked to Meng’s case, which China has denied.
The verdict comes with Meng’s case due to conclude on August 20.
Yesterday, former US President Donald Trump allegedly asked for a “ransom” for the release of former Huawei executive, Meng Wanzhou
It comes as Meng Wanzhou’s head lawyer summarised the alleged abuses encountered by the executive throughout an extradition case that started almost 3 years ago.
The lawyer says the whole case was “anti-ethical to Canadian values” and rule of law… and Trump’s abuse of power throughout the entire matter was so bad, the case should be scrapped altogether.
