The final round of trial before the first extradition judgment of Meng Wanzhou’s extradition case continued in the High Court of British Columbia, Canada in Vancouver.
The court's trial from August 9th to 10th focused on the issue of judicial remedies advocated by the defense.
Meng Wanzhou’s defense lawyer argued that the US and Canadian judicial agencies had "procedural abuse" in the Meng Wanzhou incident, and the defense explained this from four branches.
The defense argued that the judge should comprehensively consider the cumulative effects of various "procedural abuses" and make a decision to terminate extradition, because the suspension of the extradition procedure is the only feasible judicial remedy to compensate for the damage caused by the improper conduct of the extradition requesting country.
The prosecution lawyer representing the U.S. and the Canadian Department of Justice stated that the U.S. did not act improperly in this case, and the defense's view of "procedural abuse" is a "conspiracy theory."
The court will then enter the final link, which is the trial in the detention pending trial stage before being handed over.
The defense will focus on the issue of the adequacy of US evidence and respond to the prosecution's claims.
The court estimates that the trial period for this session will last until August 20.
After all the content of the trial is over, the prosecution and defense will wait for the judge to make a decision on whether to extradite Meng Wanzhou to the United States.
