Supreme Court, in Vancouver, on Aug. 9, 2021.Lawyers for Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou say the only appropriate remedy for a range of abuses in her extradition case is for proceedings to be stayed.
The abuses, according to Meng’s legal team, range from the way Meng was questioned and arrested at Vancouver’s airport to comments by then-U.S. president Donald Trump that he would intervene in her case if it benefited U.S. trade negotiations with China.Meng was arrested in December 2018 at the request of the United States on charges of bank fraud that both she and Huawei deny.
Lawyers for Canada’s attorney general have denied any abuse of process occurred and accused Meng’s lawyers of trying to turn her extradition case into a trial.
