in February, telling reporters that he “may or may not include” a resolution to the Huawei situation in the deal he was attempting to negotiate with China.
Mr. Peck said he anticipates the case to proceed “at a number of stages,” and that he plans to make an abuse-of-process application relating to his client’s detainment by the Canada Border Services Agency at the airport on Dec. 1.alleging that members of the CBSA and RCMP breached her constitutional rights. The claim says that CBSA officers conducted an “unlawful interrogation” of Ms.
“They take her and interrogate her, search her stuff, ask for her passports and so on. All of this is done by the CBSA, who are acting like Boy Scouts instead of border security. It wasn’t until three hours later that the RCMP finally said, ‘There is a provisional warrant for your arrest,'" Mr. Botting said.
The 15-minute appearance drew throngs of international media as well as small protest demonstrations. Members of the group Freedom and Democracy for China, formerly the Vancouver Chinese Human Rights Watch Group, stood outside the courthouse holding photos of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, Canadians detained in China days after Ms. Meng’s arrest in what appeared to be a tit-for-tat reprisal.
