Huawei’s vice chairman and chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou’s extradition case opened again at the High Court of British Columbia in Vancouver at 10 am local time on September 28.
Ms. Meng Wanzhou appeared in court that day.
The trial of this case has now entered the second stage, that is, Meng Wanzhou’s lawyers demanded the court to suspend the extradition proceedings against Meng Wanzhou on the grounds of alleged "procedural abuse" by both Canada and the United States.
The procedural abuse complained by Meng Wanzhou’s lawyer involves three branches. First, the remarks of US President Trump and others indicate that the so-called extradition case is a highly politicized political event; second, Canadian law enforcement agencies In the process of arresting Meng Wanzhou at Vancouver International Airport, there was procedural abuse; third, the "Case Record" and "Supplementary Case Record" submitted by the United States contained misleading content, which was an abuse of the US-Canada extradition process.
The first two branches of procedural abuse have been accepted by the court, and the third branch was the latest submission in July. The court will decide whether to accept this branch after the court session today. This is the first issue of the court session on September 28.
In addition, Meng Wanzhou’s lawyer applied to introduce the key evidence from the third branch to the third stage of the case trial, which is a complaint of sufficiency of evidence.
The court will discuss whether to accept this application in this session.
It is expected that three days of this hearing will be a public hearing.
