The case of Meng Wanzhou opens again for hearings around the four branches of "procedural abuse"

　　China News Service, Toronto, March 1 (Reporter Yu Ruidong) The extradition case of Meng Wanzhou will be reopened on March 1 in the High Court of British Columbia, Canada in Vancouver.

This round of hearings will last about 7 weeks and will start hearings around the four branches of the "procedural abuse" problem involved in this case raised by the Bangladeshi side.

　　In the court that day, the defense lawyer of Bangladesh stated that Canadian courts cannot make decisions based on misleading information provided by the country requesting extradition.

The defense has evidence that the United States provided a Canadian court with an "obviously unreliable" description of the Meng case.

The defense believes that at least a dozen emails prove that HSBC is fully aware of the relationship between Skycom and Huawei involved in the case.

Meng Wanzhou himself went to the court again to participate in the hearing.

　　In this stage of the procedure, the court will start hearings on the four branches of the program abuses raised by the Bangladeshi lawyer team, including political motives, illegal detention, major omissions and misstatements, and violations of customary international law.

The court will determine whether the above circumstances constitute an abuse of the Canadian judicial process and are sufficient to suspend the extradition process.

　　Specifically, the defense believes that under former U.S. President Trump, the U.S. intends to use the extradition process of Meng Wanzhou to seek political and economic benefits, using Meng as a pawn in the political and economic contest and depriving him of his rights; Different Canadian and American government agencies have continuously and systematically violated Meng Wanzhou’s charter rights; the United States concealed and distorted evidence in its case materials against Meng Wanzhou, thereby misleading Canada; the prosecution against Meng Wanzhou violated customary international law The US’s allegations and extradition requests against Bangladesh are based on illegal exercise of jurisdiction and further abuse of procedures.

　　Huawei Canada issued a statement on February 27 to reiterate that the extradition procedure against Meng Wanzhou constitutes an abuse of Canadian judicial procedures and the extradition should and must be stopped.

The statement stated that as the case enters the next stage, Huawei remains confident in Meng Wanzhou's innocence and will continue to support her in pursuing justice and freedom.

　　According to the current court schedule, this round of hearings will last until mid-May.
