VANCOUVER: Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou returned to a Vancouver court on Tuesday as her lawyers argued Canada abused its immigration processes to gather evidence against her, a claim the government says is without an"air of reality."
Meng's lawyer Richard Peck told the judge no one answered Meng when she repeatedly asked border officials why she was being detained."She was not told she was the subject of an arrest warrant," Peck said."She was not told this was a warrant that came out of the U.S. that had to do with activities some years ago."
At Tuesday's hearing, Meng lawyers played portions of a video without sound of Meng from when Meng was detained at the airport.In a filing submitted on Monday, Meng's lawyers said they want to know why Canadian police allowed the lengthy border examination, and why the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation wanted contact information for officers on the day she arrived.
The government claims there is no justification for halting extradition proceedings. In its filing, it called the defense's effort for more disclosure a"fishing expedition."
