China News Service, Toronto, September 30 (Reporter Yu Ruidong) The High Court of British Columbia, Canada (also translated as British Columbia) in Vancouver concluded the latest round of hearings on the extradition case of Meng Wanzhou on September 30, local time .

Regarding whether the United States misled Canada in the accusation, and whether the court accepted additional evidence to support this statement, the trial judge did not draw any conclusions in court.

  This round of hearings began on September 28 and lasted for two and a half days. Meng Wanzhou himself attended the court.

Her lawyer pointed out in court that the U.S. abused its privileges in the extradition agreement with Canada in an attempt to achieve the extradition of Bangladesh with a set of wrong "facts."

  The prosecution lawyer believes that the defense is trying to turn the current litigation into a "trial."

The defense lawyer refuted this statement and suggested that the court conduct a more detailed hearing on this to prove that the US misled the court by omitting key parts of the case.

  The defense believes that there are obvious differences between the alleged actions in the case records provided by the United States to the Canadian side and the facts, and they are substantial misstatements.

The case record distorted the core content of the presentation slides (PPT) made during the meeting between Meng Wanzhou and HSBC in 2013, and the PPT is the only evidence that the US has accused Meng Wanzhou of.

The defense believed that the PPT explained the relationship between Huawei and Skycom and its business compliance, but the prosecution intentionally omitted the core content and made misstatements, which constituted misleading.

  The next hearing of Meng Wanzhou’s extradition case has been scheduled for the end of October. At that time, the court will discuss whether there is any procedural abuse in the detention of Meng Wanzhou by law enforcement officers at Vancouver International Airport on December 1, 2018.

The Meng’s lawyers’ team had already filed with the court earlier that the Border Services Bureau officers questioned Meng Wanzhou for about 3 hours without a lawyer present, confiscated his electronic equipment, obtained his password, and handed it over The RCMP.

The Canadian side then provided the United States with information about Meng's electronic equipment.

  Meng Wanzhou’s lawyer team believes that this extradition case has procedural abuse, so the extradition procedure should be suspended and three branch lines should be set up to appeal.

The first is to prove the political nature of the case by a high-level U.S. politician's statement; the second is to demonstrate that there was procedural abuse in the detention of Meng by law enforcement agencies at Vancouver International Airport; the third is to point out the case records and other documents provided by the United States to Canadian officials Misleading, with "major omissions and misstatements."
