VANCOUVER — Huawei Canada today issued a statement in support of Huawei’s chief financial officer, Meng Wanzhou, whose extradition case is the subject of a B.C. Supreme Court hearing this week in Vancouver.
Meng will be attending the hearing during which her lawyers will cross-examine RCMP and Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officers about their role in Meng’s detention at the Vancouver airport in December 2018.
Huawei and Meng’s lawyers allege the Trump administration “directed RCMP and CBSA officers to engage in a deceptive and improper search, thereby violating a court order and Ms. Meng’s Charter rights.”
“Huawei trusts the Canadian judicial system to uphold integrity and ensure justice for all. Huawei has always had great confidence in Meng Wanzhou’s innocence. We will continue to support her in unveiling the truth behind the abuse of her rights,” says the Huawei Canada statement.
