VANCOUVER - A Canadian judge rejected Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou’s request to add evidence in her extradition case, as a federal prosecutor argued on Tuesday that Meng’s legal team had presented a story of her arrest that did not fit the facts.
Associate Chief Justice Heather Holmes of the British Columbia Supreme Court rejected the affidavit, the third such request made by Meng’s legal team, stating the evidence “is not relevant” to the extradition hearing. Much of the team’s other requests were similarly rejected. Prosecutor Robert Frater, representing the Canadian government, said the witnesses who testified at Meng’s extradition hearings acknowledged errors candidly and were “anything but liars,” as charged by Meng’s legal team in court.
