China News Service, Toronto, April 20 (Reporter Yu Ruidong) Huawei’s vice chairman and chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou’s defense lawyer filed an application to the court on April 19, hoping to extradite Meng Wanzhou, which was originally scheduled to begin a week later. The final session of the trial was postponed to August.
The High Court of British Columbia, Canada, in Vancouver, opened a court session to discuss the defense's application.
Meng Wanzhou himself appeared in court.
Attorney Meng Fang stated that the Hong Kong court has issued an order to allow Meng Fang to obtain new evidence.
Bangladesh needs time to study these evidences.
The defense believes that these evidences help prove that the United States misled Canada in its allegations against Bangladesh.
The prosecution's lawyers objected to Bangladesh's application.
The judge did not make a decision in court whether to approve the postponement of the trial.
Earlier, the prosecution and defense have been focusing on the first branch of the "procedural abuse" issue, namely the issue of political motivation, the second branch, the issue of suspected illegal detention, and the fourth branch, the issue of whether the U.S. extradition request violates customary international law. Conduct a court debate.
According to the original plan, from April 26 to May 14, the case will enter the final stage of the trial before the trial judge makes the first extradition judgment.
The court will discuss the third branch, that is, whether there are major omissions and misstatements in the case materials provided by the U.S., and cumulative remedies for procedural abuse, etc., and conclude the statements of the prosecution and defense, and wait for the judge to make a decision on whether to extradite Meng Wanzhou to the United States .
