Canada's Ambassador to China: Huawei CFO Has A Strong Case Against Extradition

hackingbear writes: Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou, who was arrested last month in Canada, has a “strong case” against extradition to the United States, Canada’s ambassador to China John McCallum said in extraordinary comments broadcast on Wednesday. “One, political involvement by comments from [US President] Donald Trump in her case. Two, there’s an extraterritorial aspect to her case, and three, there’s the issue of Iran sanctions which are involved in her case, and Canada does not sign on to these Iran sanctions. So I think she has some strong arguments that she can make before a judge,” McCallum said. David Mulroney, Canada’s former ambassador to China, called McCallum’s remarks “mind-boggling.” and said "It’s a setback and an unfortunate setback. It undermines that Canada is playing this by the book."
