Robert Schellenberg was sentenced to prison in November 2018 after being convicted of drug smuggling. He was abruptly resentenced to death in January 2019 following the arrest of the chief financial officer of Huawei Technologies Ltd. in Vancouver. Meng Wanzhou was detained on U.S. charges related to possible dealings with Iran.
The Higher People’s Court of Liaoning Province rejected Schellenberg’s appeal and said court procedures were legal and the sentence appropriate. It sent the case to the Chinese supreme court for review, as is required by law before any death sentences can be carried out. The Chinese government also arrested a former Canadian diplomat, Michael Kovrig, and a Canadian entrepreneur, Michael Spavor, on unspecified spying charges in an apparent attempt to pressure Ottawa to release Meng.
Two other Canadians, Fan Wei and Xu Weihong, also were sentenced to death on drug charges in 2019 as relations between Beijing and Ottawa deteriorated. The United States wants the Huawei executive, Meng, who is the company founder’s daughter, extradited to face charges she lied to banks in Hong Kong in connection with dealings with Iran that might violate trade sanctions.China also has reduced imports from Canada.
Maybe dealing with over 200kgs of Methamphetamine is not illegal in Canada. But hell, 500 grams is already enough for death penalty in many countries, including China.
The evil backstage manipulator is grinning from ear to ear seeing the combat between Canada & China. Its purpose is to turn the whole world its catspaw to contain China. While some states stay wary of its scheme, some fall prey.
How Chinese response to Robert Schellenberg's death penalty，sort by top comments ,no comments were deleted (Drug trafficking(50 gram) is a capital crime in China)
Disgusting post. This guy is planning to ship over 220kg heroins back to Canada way before Huawei thing, then he got caught, and as per China law, if you smuggling over 50g(not kg) Hercik you can be sentenced to death! Who knew why China has almost 0 tolerance on heroin, anyone?
Canada kills Aboriginal children and destroys aboriginal culture, but it is a civilized state.
Trouble is on the Horizon for China!
Before you feel sorry for the drug smugglers, please spare a moment and think of his victims and their families.
It is very correct that the shameless Canadian drug dealer was sentenced to death
Why doesn't anyone care that- How many families have been destroyed by drug dealers,？220 kilograms of drugs, he got what he deserved
china is too kind to let him live for so long. In singapore it would be instant desth sentence for a 100 times less the amount.
Over 200 kilograms of drugs, any Chinese citizen will also be sentenced to death. Why should Canadians who sell drugs in China be an exception?Unlike North America, China does not tolerate drugs
Smuggled 220kg of meth into China, what result this Canadian expected from China government , a hug ? Everyone knows it will be death penalty.
Our AP hacks trying to invent any relations between the two cases are ridiculing themselves.
222kg drugs.
I hope the president of canada reviews this case throughly. It started off as a 15 year now death for re-trial🤔🤔
Try Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia... These countries have the same law. Someone should have sent him a memo! Never heard of Bali nine?
300k calls and counting. The free world must listen to the voice of people, demanding sanction on Pakistan, from all across the world. Sanction Pakistan for the sake of global security and peace. SanctionPakistan
One of them is a drug smuggler and the other is not guilty of any crime, so don't Commingle！
PSA: Your passport is not a “Get Out of Jail Free” card
I know more Russian than you’d think and this was a bad decision. 🐲
There is nothing to do with Huawei executive. Robert smuggled 220 kilo meth in China , which violated Chinese law severely. He deserved to be sentenced to death. As a foreigner, it’s common send to respect law of host country.
We see what you try to do here AP with your added '... After a Huawei Executive was detained in Canada' Very manipulative as usual.
Why don't you explain the facts and the truth to the public about his offense ans the law of China instead of a misleading subject line?
My grandfather told me one time”know the laws of other countries before you visit there” I’m sorry…he should of known better.
death to all drug courier , dealer and especially drug lord regardless of nationality, religion and color .. even the protector from the politician to the media
I guess they have already auctioned off his organs
And the Olympics are in China in 6 months?
Does anyone know what the preferred method of judicial execution is in China?
BernardToHK China kills thousands of Americans every year by smuggling Fentanyl into the Country.
Canadians like him keep smuggling drugs in Asia and sometimes prey on little kids. The world did the right thing.
That's fucked up for real.
To the people here who support the death penalty, you are aligning yourself with China. Just letting you know.
如果强制接种要求公布及回答新冠疫苗以下资料及问题:1、疫苗的一至三期动物及人体实验安全报告及结果。2、如肝炎病毒分甲乙丙等,新冠疫苗很多变种,疫苗针对什么型新冠病毒有效,人体三期实验接种后有效率0-100%处于？%。接种后保护期是一年还是永久。
Chinese people are so vengeful, geez. 🙄
望有知情者提供新冠疫苗制选真实成本？寻提供政府采购价格？猜想年年打,已成生物病毒制品利益集团。金融地产+病毒了,十倍乎百倍乎,利年打,已成生物病毒制品利益集团。金融地产+病毒了,十倍乎百倍乎,利。如利太高应加强生物实验监管,防利益集团造毒后放毒后,用疫苗收割众生。
