You want to promote human rights in China?

There is nothing tough about the "spot"

If the Americans presented us with reasonable proof of the allegations, we have no choice but to comply with their request.

We have an extradition treaty with them that is pretty straight forward.

 

[Twin_Moose]

I agree, but China is trying hard to keep her from being extradited, we will pay the consequences as China will punish Canada. BTW she must be real important to the Chinese Gov. as they usually don't get this aggressive over their citizens in another country.

 

[Hoid]

BTW if the government arrested her the evidence they were presented with must have been pretty iron clad.

The sad part is that it is likely to be over China circumventing the US sanctions against Iran - which Canada is also against.

Espionage. Huawei is tits deep in it.

Canada detained her for being a person of interest to the US DOJ as part of the agreement signed between the 2 countries, Canada is not prosecuting her the lawyers are working for the DOJ to have her extradited to the US. That is why China is mad at Canada she broke no Canadian laws, I can see her getting her bail then bailing on Canada in the middle of the night that's why the US payed lawyer's are arguing so hard on keeping her detained.

 

[Hoid]

She was arrested in Canada under the terms of a long-standing extradition agreement. So she was in violation of Canadian law.

She is no flight threat.

that is ridiculous and that is Canada's fault that she is locked up like some sort of common crook.

I would expect her to be released on bail by the end of the day,

Why do I have to keep correcting you? Why are you so stubborn? From the article posted above

Meng was changing flights in Canada when she was detained "on behalf of the United States of America" to face "unspecified charges" in New York, Huawei said in a statement.
"The company has been provided very little information regarding the charges and is not aware of any wrongdoing by Ms. Meng," the statement said. "The company believes the Canadian and U.S. legal systems will ultimately reach a just conclusion."

 

[Hoid]

She is in Canadian jail because she did something that put her there.

Its not like she's there for nothing.

 

[Twin_Moose]

Where else would she be detained in a secure facility? The Super 8?

 

[Hoid]

Yes jail makes sense for people who are accused of breaking the law.

 

[Twin_Moose]

Yes she is being accused in the US and Canada is detaining her until her extradition hearing is complete where she can exert her right on why she shouldn't be extradited. She has broken no Canadian law so therefore not under arrest under Canadian law but detained per the Canada, US agreement on request of the US DOJ

 

[Hoid]

She's been granted bail. $10 million.

As predicted.

 

[Twin_Moose]

Do you think she will be in Canada by tomorrow? By the weekend?

 

[Hoid]

Do I think she's going to run away?

No.

 

[Curious Cdn]

The Chinese have taken a Canadian hostage. PLA ... PLO ... what's the difference, really?

I'll be flying the flag of the Qing Dynasty this coming Spring just because I know that the Communist Party hates that flag.

Stays put and 3 plane loads of Lawyers with criminal charges lands and sets up shop for 'more than a weekend'. Something about charities being a laundry instead.

Naughty, naughty. . . . . whack.

China says detained Canadian may have broken foreign NGO law

BEIJING, Dec 12 (Reuters) - If International Crisis Group (ICG) employee Michael Kovrig was carrying out "relevant activities" for the group in China without it being registered, then he may have broken China's foreign NGO law, China's Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday.
Ministry spokesman Lu Kang made the comments at a daily news briefing in Beijing.
The ICG said on Wednesday it had received no information from Chinese officials about the detention of its employee, Canadian citizen Kovrig, and that it was seeking consular access to him.
The ICG, which focuses on conflict resolution, said in a statement sent to Reuters that Kovrig was detained by state security officials in Beijing on Monday night. (Reporting by Christian Shepherd Writing by Ben Blanchard Editing by Robert Birsel)
